Open-sourcing CORE One CAD Files Under the New Open Community License (OCL) (blog.prusa3d.com)

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.

I'm far from the most knowledgeable on the subject, but I remember hearing something about one of their prospective printers not being listed as open source, and that they partnered with some Israeli company.

Please please please don't make the mistake of assuming that the current government of Israel is the same as the people living in Israel or are running companies there.

It's like accusing everybody that speaks Russian of genocide or thinking that all us Americans endorse ICE. All Asians started COVID and so in.

Differentiate

Like I said, I'm not the most knowledgeable person on the subject, so I don't know if there was more to the outrage than just "it's an Israeli company". I'm not currently in the market for a prusa printer, so I'm not particularly invested in their politics, just speaking on things that I have seen in this community

Thanks for the info. I missed that. And although I can‘t say this is a huge thing by it‘s own I understand it leaves a bitter taste in some mouths.

Personally I don‘t think it‘s good to see things so black and white. It‘s fair to say you‘re losing confidence over this but saying they‘re turning evil goes a bit far.
