With all the drama between #prusa and #bambulabs in the #3dprinting world, I find myself surprisingly siding with Bambu on a lot of the current controversy. I say it's surprising because I'm generally a huge FOSS advocate and really admire Prusa's commitment towards keeping their stuff open source.

That being said, between the makerworld controversy and their past spats about how much of Bambu's success is built on top of the open source work done by Prusa, Prusa is seeming more and more unreasonable in his attitude towards his less FOSS competitors.

First off, for the prusa slicer -> bambuslicer controversy - I don't see what the possible cause for complaint is. Bambu operated well within the confines of the license used by the PrusaSlicer, and credit the Prusa team every time they merge a feature from the Prusa Slicer into BambuStudio. Is Bambu profiting off open source work? Of course, but name me a company who isn't.

 @82803f15 and it’s not like Bambu Slicer is closed source. It’s open and even has “competition” from OrcaSlicer. 

I’d love to see some of the stuff that landed in Bambu/OrcaSlicer come to PS. 

 @82803f15  Prusa's slicer license explicitly allows for commercial use! Not sure what they expected.
