Bambu is trying to stop people from using their AGPL code using DMCA takedowns. The AGPL clearly says anyone can use the code. Seems simple to me. If they didnt want people to use their code, they shouldnt have used the AGPL.

Their slicer is forked from Prusa slicer, which is forked from Slic3r which is AGPL.

Unless they write their own slicer from scratch, they are stuck with the AGPL license. They tried to mitigate that by adding poorly implemented user authentication code.

The dev used their AGPL code to create the Orca Slicer fork and now, Bambu Lab is mad because it exposed their shitty security and poor attempt at closing their ecosystem.
