Description:
At FOSSY 2026 , several people from the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC), which organizes the conference, gave a presentation about an ongoing
violation of the Affero General Public
License version 3 (AGPLv3). Bradley Khn, Karen Sandler, and Denver
Gingerich spoke about different aspects of the violation, which is in
regard to 3D-printer software from Bambu Lab, and what is being
done to try to provide users with alternatives. One aspect that is particularly interesting is that the circumvention that the company is employing is precisely what the AGPL was written to prevent.
