Open-source non-profit claims Bambu Lab violated license — move follows cease-and-desist demand on OrcaSlicer fork that restored cloud printing features without using Bambu Connect

This action follows Bambu Lab's cease-and-desist demand against an independent developer who created a fork of OrcaSlicer that restored cloud printing features. The SFC asserts that Bambu Lab's inclusion of proprietary code within its AGPLv3-licensed software infringes upon the open-source license terms. AI
