Workaround for Canon cameras going to standby #13

Open saeugetier opened 3 months ago

Canon cameras will go into standby while the camera is in preview state for a while. Canon cameras have a parameter "capture" which must be set to "true" occasionally. This fix will periodically trigger the parameter to keep the camera alive.

Additionally, a license file was added. This file is required for building the library in a Yocto recipe.

The changes were tested on a photo booth: https://github.com/saeugetier/photobooth/
