Bambu Lab's software is forked from software that used the AGPL license. Then they made their code closed source, which is expressly forbidden by AGPL.

Bambu Labs are the ones who have been in the wrong this entire time, it's just that nobody has seriously called them out on it before

Oh, wow. Yes, that's illegal.

I see. Then wouldn’t suing them over this have worked better than “daring” them to sue for this? Or can they use the AGPL argument to win in court even if the case is related to cloud access?

EDIT: actually, is the case over cloud access? Another commenter said it’s DMCA takedowns, is that what they’re using?

Then wouldn’t suing them

You gonna pay the lawyers?

“daring” them to sue

So you can sue for lawyer fees, etc.
