Bambu Lab Sent a Cease-and-Desist. The AGPL Might Send One Back.

A Polish developer released a fork of OrcaSlicer that reversed changes made by Bambu Lab's January 2025 firmware update, prompting Bambu Lab to issue a cease-and-desist. This legal action highlighted complex issues involving Bambu’s "Authorization Control" firmware, a leaked RSA private key, and challenges under DMCA and open-source AGPL licensing. The dispute raises broader questions about user ownership and control over smart devices, paralleling issues faced by companies like John Deere and supported by the EU Right to Repair Directive. The video explores these legal and community dynamics, emphasizing the ongoing conflict between corporate control and consumer rights in the tech and 3D printing sectors.
