== "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.
