Hahaha fuck you Bambu
tldw?
I think that below is probably a fair summary, but I note that I'm a FOSS user and contributor and this is my opinion.
There is a case to be made that there is an AGPL violation here and the documented evidence and commentary is growing.
More people with knowledge on the subject are apparently weighing in.
As a software developer, I think that this case is important because there is a growing trend by companies and individuals to hide source code from the community, even if that software was originally licensed to them under an irrevocable licence. In this case, as I understand it, the Bambu Labs software is a fork of Prussia Slicer, which itself is a fork of Slic3r, all of which is licensed under the AGPL.
Wasn't his last video about that? There's no new information?
I didn't see any other video in relation to this.
As I understand it, the author of the AGPL has recently posted about software that's including closed source modules and the person who was told to cease and desist has documented exactly what the issue is based entirely on Bambu Labs' source code. There's also discussion about reverse engineering.
I don't know if any of that is new ground or not, as I said, this is the first video I watched on the topic, it randomly turned up in my feed.
I didn't see any other video in relation to this.
The first 4 words in this video are "in my previous video..."
