yeah, [this is the interesting one](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#CompanyGPLCostsMoney). also [this one and he ones below it](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMoney). basically, bambu has the right to refuse handing out gpled code. that's part of their freedom to distribute as they see fit. however, they can only exercise that freedom on people they haven't given the binaries. so if you decompile or download all the sources, and you don't own one of their printers, you are also violating the license. now if rossman owns a bambu printer, and he has gotten the sources *from that printer* or *directly from bambu*, they can't do shit. otherwise there is wiggle room.
