Yeah and people always mention that Bambu forked all Prusa's stuff, which was only open to fork in the first place because Prusa forked it from Slic3r.

I'm nominally against the Chinese company ingesting and reselling everything possible thing but in this case it's more business as usual as the entire market does it - I mean it all originated in reprap with everyone sharing stuff anyway. Only thing is when they try to create a moat (and both Bambu & Prusa are guilty of this).



They are not equally guilty. Prusa is fighting for their lives against subsidized Chinese printers, against a global scale industrial policy that they are only a tiny player in (Czechia is not exactly a heavy hitter globally). That they have still succeeded at all is remarkable.
