Say whaaaa?

Canon wants to charge for their webcam utility?

Yes, basic 720p is free but if you have an old 1080p camera then you gotta pay up or deal with lower res or unclean hdmi out.

There are no open source drivers for Canons.

Do you mean specifically webcam drivers? Because Magic Lantern still works as far as I know?

I'll test it out when I get back and let you know if thats true.

EDIT: Just remembered I gave the old camera to a relative because I was planning to upgrade lmao. Where were you months ago?!
