Not quite yet. He’s basically said he’s ready to back a legal challenge to it.
Louis is encouraging someone to keep doing what they’re doing despite Bambu sending someone a cease and desist and Louis will provide some funding for legal support if Bambu keeps pushing. But there isn’t anything going directly after them yet.
He just uploaded orcaslicer to the FULU GitHub and invited Bambu to sue him instead… I’m ordering popcorn in bulk for this one 🍿
You're right. Maybe it better in general to let other people fight while he supports, this way more people learn to fight back.
