    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 Kühn, 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.
