You aren't understanding the GPL correctly.

  • The GPL applies to code built on top of GPL code, this is the viral nature of the GPL.
  • Anyone with a GPL license for the code can license anyone else, it does not have to come from the original creator. So Rossmann has a license granted by the creator of the fork. Also the source that Bambu Lab provide on GitHub provides a license as well.

    i'm using "on top" rather flippantly here, since orca is AGPL. but bambu may also have separate code running on the machines that is not agpl.
