Licence is GPL2, although some (all ?) webcams require extracting
firmware from Windows drivers.
There are "Debian / Ubuntu" source and binary packages:

Possibly interesting for inclusing in restricted drivers.

Ricoh R5U870 Webcam Driver

Although I can triage this bug I can't do any packaging work about it. Someone
would have to look at this page to see what needs to be done in order for this
to be included in Ubuntu:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages
I've changed the description and tag accordingly.

Same again for the Sony Vaio SZ650N, eventually found a patched version
that worked but really the cam should be supported without me having to
go and compile a driver.

Ditto here for the Sony VAIO VGN-SZ110.
Cam is a Ricoh, not supported by install, but works fine using r5u870
module. Also used in several HP laptops as well. Took me alot of
searching and testing to find the correct module and load it myself,
don't think the average user would have succeeded.

I can confirm this is a problem for my Sony VAIO. The README lists
support for:
05ca:1810 HP Pavilion Webcam - UVC
05ca:1830 Sony Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC2 (for VAIO SZ)
05ca:1832 Sony Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC3 (for VAIO UX)
05ca:1833 Sony Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC2
