`BambuStudio` accused of violating `PrusaSlicer`'s AGPL after forking

A closed binary plugin attached to an AGPL fork is the risk. OSS-based products need clean architecture boundaries before distribution.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. BambuStudio opened slicer code but allegedly kept the cloud-network plugin closed, creating AGPL compliance risk.
  2. The plugin is described as required for core functionality, so file separation alone may not prove independence.
  3. AGPL forks are product decisions, not just repo decisions. Closed add-ons need legal and technical boundary checks early.
