Title: Bambu Lab backtracks after SFC accuses company of AGPL violations and “legal threats”
Post by: Redaktion on May 23, 2026, 09:44:47
Bambu Lab has backed down from legal pressure against developer Paweł Jarczak after the Software Freedom Conservancy accused the company of violating the AGPLv3 license governing Bambu Studio and its PrusaSlicer-derived codebase. The dispute has prompted the SFC to launch the funded "baltobu" project, aimed at replacing proprietary networking components and maintaining open forks for Bambu Lab users.

"We nonetheless regret that our reference to terms of service, legal context, and a potential C&D understandably came across as a legal threat. That was not the outcome we wanted."

I'm going to roll to disbelieve on this one. C&D's don't start being mentioned unless legal action is being held up as a possibility.
