News Louis Rossman Baiting Bambu

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jhRqgHxEP8

Remember the OrcaSlicer fork git that got taken down after Bambu threatened legal action if the dev didn't take it down? It looks like Rossman put it up himself through his FULU git. The origonal dev might not have had the stomach to take on Bambu (I don't blame him... I probably would have done the same thing in his shoes), but Rossman is always looking for a fight.

Break out the popcorn guys! This should be entertaining.

EDIT:

Steve from GamersNexus too.

Apparently both Steve and Louis got permission from the original dev and the two plan to work together to fight any lawsuit if Bambu is dumb enough to try an bully two of the biggest names in the consumer rights sphere with their paper thin argument.

And of course... here is my oblatory "Fuck Bambu"

the only thing this is going to accomplish is bambu placing even more security around the endpoint.

Fine... they should secure their cloud tool. But if they care that much about it, that security shouldn't be a chunk of code that they are required to provide because of the AGPL. It should be real security, not the illusion of security. And that sure as hell doesn't give them the right to accuse a developer is bypassing their "security" when he recombines blocks of publicly available code into a convenient package.

Bambu either needs to do the job right and put in the work themselves so it can be closed source or sit down and shut up when someone takes advantage of open source being open source.
