This is the emails between the YouTuber YGK3D and Anycubic, it seems like they won't send 3D printers to reviewers who mention their GPL3 license violations.

tl;dr Anycubic uses open-source software for their firmware, but doesn't make it public as per license agreement, and they don't seem to be friendly to anyone who calls this out.

Also consider Sovol. They take Voron designs and make them producible at scale, sell them for cheaper than you can build, and everything is open sourced in their repos.

Note: I own a Sovol and built a Voron.
