If the developer wants to fight this and Rossman wants to back them, then more power to them both. Obviously Bambu shouldn't be allowed to get away with this. But it does seem unfortunate that the best case scenario would be the developer winning the right to continue doing unpaid work to make their aggressor's products better. Perhaps an alternative would be for a more FOSS friendly printer company to offer a free replacement for the developer's Bambu machine so that they can instead contribute to a platform where their work will actually be valued.

more FOSS friendly printer company

Prusa has helped people with their bambu printers in the past and includes profiles for them in its slicer

Bambu Studio is a fork of Prusa Slicer in the first place.
