    yeah, a lot of times. i had software licencing responsibilities for a product for a while, and they really didn’t want gpl stuff in there for the reasons stated in the thread.

    the interesting wrinkle in this situation is: if rossman is distributing all of bambu’s code, including the account stuff that far as i can tell is another codebase, and he hasn’t gotten it from his own printer (which wouldn’t have the sources) then no “agreement” has taken place. if bambu is told to distribute sources and they say “no”, they’re in the wrong. but if they haven’t said anything, then technically rossman is stealing the code. it would most likely get thrown out, but the case can be made.
