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.

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

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 Fairbuds XL just became the first headphones to earn a 10/10 repairability score on our new headphone scorecard! Replaceable battery. Replaceable ear pads. Modular design. Actual repair manuals. This is what headphones look like when they’re built to last instead of built for the landfill.

I hope all Americans are either happy in how their country is directly and indirectly causing hell on earth in the Middle East or are actively protesting against it. Having friends and colleagues who are seeking refuge from bombs that these other friends and colleagues are enabling. It’s lunacy 🤬
