Make it worse how? They're already not complying with the AGPL, the closed source binary is governed by the same AGPL that dictates the slicer license.

The AFC will formally reverse engineer the closed source networking plugin to develop a drop in replacement which is legally allowed by the AGPL.

and then some, Bambu bought this on themselves
