Creality adopts Prusa's contested Open Community License

Original: Creality are also starting to use Prusa's non-open-source "Open Community License". I've called them out on it early: ht

3D printer maker Creality has begun releasing work under Prusa's "Open Community License", which critics say does not meet open-source standards because of its restrictions. A commentator has publicly challenged Creality over the move, referencing earlier criticism of Prusa for the same licensing choice, and is watching whether the company responds. The debate reopens a running argument in the open-source hardware community about what qualifies as genuinely open licensing.

Why now: Licensing debates are live in the 3D printing community, and a second major manufacturer adopting a contested non-open-source licence reignites criticism of Prusa's model.
