I have no idea what it is that they've supposedly done because I don't really understand the 3D printing space but I'm glad to see that someone's actually upholding GPL licences because they generally thought that didn't happen.

    My understanding is that they're withholding part of their source code (which is forbidden by AGPLv3 as described in the article) so that they can keep lock people with their devices into their cloud services (and of course corresponding subscription fees, privacy nightmares, etc.), rather than having the printers able to receive files and print them themselves.
