If it was only for that, they could use/improve busybox, which has the same license as the kernel (GPLv2). Perhaps it is also so they can be used in closed source systems (I have uutils installed on my Windows system which works nicely

The view from one end of a laser going between two mirrors (timestamp 1:37) is a fairly good demonstration of the camera having to wait for light to get to it.
