Software Freedom Conservancy (“SFC”) announces a new initiative regarding the software right to repair for users and consumers of 3D printers manufactured by Bambu Lab. After recent news of violations of the Affero General Public License, version 3 (“AGPLv3”), SFC staff began a comprehensive AGPLv3 compliance investigation of both the userspace software and firmware on Bambu's devices. While the investigation is ongoing, two specific AGPLv3 violations have been confirmed.

The Software Freedom Conservancy taking some bold steps to push back against Bambu’s blatant anti-consumerism via (amongst other tactics) violation of AGPLv3.

    Don’t know much about this group, but this seems like a worthwhile cause to contribute to

        The GPL licenses were all written by the free software foundation for the GNU project. But that doesn’t make it less worthwhile to contribute to this cause, too :)

    It’s good that they’re attacking them on the software side, but they should also go after them on the legal side.
