Bamboo 3D Printers Disallowing Third Party Slicers

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Bambu straight used open source slicer and made it proprietary too?
And you have to be connected to their cloud service to print anything so there’s IP and security concerns for companies.
IIRC Slic3r and all its derivatives are copyleft though, not permissive. Is Bambu doing a GPL violation?
