			==Free Software Foundation inquiry==
			Because OrcaSlicer contains GPLv3‑licensed code, any claim that users cannot fork, modify, or redistribute it would represent a misinterpretation of GPLv3 and could have broader implications for the copyleft ecosystem. Given the potential impact, it may be worth inquiring whether the Free Software Foundation is aware of the situation. Even a simple clarifying statement from the FSF would help assert the correct interpretation of GPLv3 and bring wider awareness to an issue that may affect more than just this one project.

			The Free Software Foundation (FSF) serves as the primary steward of the GPL and AGPL licenses and periodically issues clarifying statements when these licenses are misunderstood or misrepresented. The FSF has emphasized that the AGPL cannot be used to impose additional restrictions or limit users’ rights to modify, fork, or redistribute software, as explained in its statement “The AGPL is not a tool for taking freedom away” ( https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/agpl-is-not-a-tool-for-taking-freedom-away ). Because the FSF’s mission includes defending correct copyleft interpretation, situations involving potential misuse of GPL/AGPL terms may warrant their attention. Information about FSF governance and board membership is available at https://www.fsf.org/about/staff-and-board.

			== "Who can enforce AGPL against Bambu Lab" section might be incorrect ==

			SFC vs Vizio was filed from a third party beneficiary perspective -- as in, from that of a user of a non-compliant GPL-based software, and not from a copyright holder's of a prior software that the offending software was built upon. SFC's claim is that the GPL is a contract between Vizio and its users, and by not fulfilling its obligations under the GPL, Vizio is breaching this contract, in which even as a user they have standing to sue. So far, that seems to have stuck in court, so there is a pretty good chance that regular users could in fact be plaintiffs. It would of course be a stronger case with an actual copyright holder, but SFC is showing that copyright ownership may not be required for enforcing GPL compliance.

			It seems that all you need is to request the source code. Which is convenient, because I have in fact requested the code, specifically that of the authorisation mechanism, as per the AGPL's terms, over a year ago. You can find the issue here: https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/issues/6037

			By continuing to ignore that request well beyond any reasonable time-frame for such a response, Bambu is clearly harming third party beneficiaries of the AGPL licence of PrusaSlicer. The only lawyer's opinion who I'm aware of commenting on this issue, that of Leonard French, seems to corroborate both that standing, and that Bambu's original authorisation mechanism is also in clear violation of the AGPL, not just its stance against Pawel Jarczak. But even in Jarczak's case, the precedent of SFC vs Vizio would likely mean that he does have standing to sue, because he too is a third party beneficiary of the AGPL.
