Hi everyone, We’ve been following the recent discussion regarding the “OrcaSlicer-BambuLab” project. As you know, we requested the removal of the repository from GitHub. And while we appreciate the community’s serious engagement with this matter, we would like to clarify several points that may ha…

Read both the exchange and the Verge analysis article. You’ll get, most likely, a better grasp of what’s going on, and why things have escalated to the current point.

I didn’t come to the forum for 3 days and this is still going on strong, and seems to take a sudden turn. Did we just witness a spotlight-seeking feeding frenzy over a nothingburger? :rofl:

[image] DWdesigns: Did we just witness a spotlight-seeking feeding frenzy over a nothingburger? I wouldn’t call it a “Nothingburger,” because there is, after all, a burger. It’s more like each side adds seasonings that the other side doesn’t like. Of course, they don’t openly disclose which s…

[image] RetroSharky: I take two things from this. I could be wrong, of course: My interpretation: There was never an official letter from a lawyer, even though this was mentioned repeatedly in the videos. Jarczak is angry - and rightly so - that he was treated that way, but also that he didn’t…

[image] trilerian: So the quoted above is just deflecting from what has become the major issue here. The major issue is possible violations of the AGPL license. Please, don’t downplay the license issue because there may or may not have been a C&D sent. One thing has nothing to do with the other. …

Thanks for that! To me it seems like a clash of perspectives, but clearly bambu threatened legal action and Jarczak (it’s Jarczak, not Jarzak) did clearly recognize it as such. Bambu also clamis that technical details in chat violate TOS, but there’s nothing in the chat that violates TOS. Jarczak co…

[image] RetroSharky: Jarczak is angry - and rightly so - that he was treated that way, but also that he didn’t get a reward. If it is this, then it is a nothingburger. Anyhoo, I bet some are still glad that they have been able to insert themselves and squeeze out of this for more than 15 minu…

[image] RetroSharky: Downplay? I started a separate very active thread just for people who want to criticize Bambu regarding the AGPL violation. :rofl: That really made me laugh. :+1: Sorry, I missed that thread. I don’t have time to scour the forums looking at every thread. I appreciate yo…
