Today, we are releasing the full CAD files for the CORE One and CORE One L frames.

There seems to be a custom licence.

The Restriction: You cannot commercially exploit the design files (selling the product or remixes) without a separate agreement.

The Protection: It includes an explicit patent license grant, protection against AI data mining, and a codified Right-to-Repair.

Most of the linked article is about the licence.

There's been a lot of talk about Prusa turning evil. Maybe it's a good step back.

My point is that any innovation by prusa, slicer or printer, is pretty much past tense.

Granted it's from a partnership, but the INDX extruder seems to be on the cusp, so the idea that Prusa is behind seems odd. And the fact that they're more open and consumer friendly than Bambu is great. There are a lot of affordable printers that have benefited from Prusa's development while Prusa is still dropping new developments, seemingly at a greater rate now than previously.

INDX is done by a completely different company, you cannot credit their work to prusa at all.

And im saying its not, because their changes still flow upwards towards the bambu slicer and the popular fork of fork, orca slicer, which are both based on prusaslicer and still integrate changes of prusaslicer.
