GoKawiilSoftware Freedom Conservancy flags Bambu Lab for AGPLv3 violation on 3D-printer firmware
At FOSSY 2026, Software Freedom Conservancy members Bradley Kühn, Karen Sandler, and Denver Gingerich detailed an unresolved license violation involving Bambu Lab's 3D-printer software, which is licensed under the AGPLv3. They explained that the company's method of restricting user control over the software is exactly the kind of network-based circumvention the AGPL was designed to block, and described SFC's outreach to build alternatives for affected users.
