I love that Rossman is picking a fight here. He has the resources to fight this to a trial and that alone is probably enough to make Bambu Labs back down.
They don't have a case, the project is re-using their AGPL code. This is entirely a SLAPP threat, it only works if the target isn't rich enough to defend themselves.
Not even that. If the target has enough $ to pay a lawyer consultation or just doesnt care as to waste time/money on fighting for that hill; because any competent lawyer would have seen that the case is bs .
If the developer wants to fight this and Rossman wants to back them, then more power to them both. Obviously Bambu shouldn't be allowed to get away with this. But it does seem unfortunate that the best case scenario would be the developer winning the right to continue doing unpaid work to make their aggressor's products better. Perhaps an alternative would be for a more FOSS friendly printer company to offer a free replacement for the developer's Bambu machine so that they can instead contribute to a platform where their work will actually be valued.
Prusa has helped people with their bambu printers in the past and includes profiles for them in its slicer
Bambu Studio is a fork of Prusa Slicer in the first place.
