Bambu has been adding controls to their printers to force commands from your slicer to go through their servers before being sent to your printer. This had caused some stuff to stop working, like 3rd party AMS systems.
One guy forked (copied it and made his own changes to) their code and removed the restriction. Bambu didn’t like that and threatened him to take it down, while accusing him of falsely impersonating them to make API calls to their servers.
The dude is like “I didn’t impersonate shit, I just forked your code.” Bambu’s code is just a fork of other open source software, all under an open source license. So they have no authority to tell someone not to fork their code, since it’s all open source licensed.
So a lot of people have banded together to push back against Bambu and are ready to take them to court if necessary. They see this as a step by Bambu to try to make their printers more restricted (only use their addons, their filament, go through their cloud, etc).
