Bambu Lab's Bambu Studio, an AGPL v3-licensed application, appears to violate open-source licensing requirements by distributing a closed-source 'bambu_networking' component as a binary plugin rather than providing its source code. The plugin is not a loosely-coupled add-on but rather an integral, version-specific runtime component with deep architectural integration (including shared memory structures, callbacks, and main-thread execution control), which under AGPL v3 requirements should obligate Bambu Lab to provide corresponding source code. This creates significant legal and compliance risk for organizations deploying or modifying Bambu Studio, potentially exposing them to licensing disputes and forcing derivative works to be open-sourced.
