I logged into #reddit for 1ˢᵗ time in 4-6 months b/c it's the central location for discussion of #BambuLabs #AGPLv3 violations.
I wanted to do a reddit #AMA on #Bambu, b/c so many on reddit are talking about the violations & #SFC's response.

BTW, when I logged in, I saw a “sponsored AMA” from Terminix about common pests.

I'm sure if I paid reddit whatever 💰💰💰 they gave, I'd be able to do as many AMAs under a non-shadow-banned account as I want.
Capitalism ruins everything. I love #Fediverse.

Take a look at #SFC's Principles of Community-Oriented #GPL Enforcement found here:

https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/principles.html

While that's tailored to the question of GPL (as opposed to #LGPL or #AGPL enforcement), a universal principle in #copyleft enforcement is always to use litigation as a last resort. Take a look at SFC's #baltobu project; we want to get working solutions to users ASAP:

The most comprehensive & detailed article yet covering the situation with Bambu Lab's violations of AGPLv3 in their Bambu Studio product, & my & SFC's work to do something about it.

‘Fuck you, Bambu’: How one private message could change the face of 3D printing

The open-source 3D printing community is lining up to fund a war against Bambu Lab, after it threatened a developer who modified its open-source code.

Yes, ∃ much gossip in the #3dprinting community that #Bambu is not only sponsoring many YouTubers, but also they appear to be one of the few companies that is moderation control of their own fora on 3ʳᵈ-party platforms such as reddit.

While I hope folks will chose a vendor that treats the community & their own customers better than #BambuLab does, #SFC has always been realistic about #copyleft violations: users already have devices & the deserve adjudication of their rights.

#Disturbing that Bambu behaved this way. They're ≈37% of #3Dprinting market. My discussions w/ experts indicate that Bambu leapfrogged *precisely* b/c they violate #AGPLv3.
#baltobu initiative is a sprint right now, but in the next few weeks, it'll become a marathon. It will take us time, but we will liberate the users' right to repair that #Bambu took away.

Comprehensive Response to Bambu's AGPLv3 Violations

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 conflict between Bambu Lab and the open-source community, led by the SFC and Josef Prusa, over alleged AGPLv3 violations in Bambu Studio is escalating. This isn't merely a software licensing debate; it's a pivotal moment for user rights, the 'right to repair,' and the future of open-source hardware, with real consequences for developers and consumers alike.

SFC announced today a multi-pronged, comprehensive initiative to deal with Bambu Lab's AGPLv3 copyleft violations, and with software right to repair for 3D printer users generally.

https://sfconservancy.org/news/2026/may/18/bambu-studio-3d-printer-agpl-violation-response/

The initial plan includes forks, reverse engineering, and further investigation. As always, litigation remains a last resort.
