We were blaming Bambu Lab, but apparently Google is no different.
FabCH•1h ago
Surprisingly many people in the linked Reddit thread seem to think that open source license means Google can re-license the code and strip the author info.

Which is the one thing you absolutely cannot do.

They confuse it with public domain, which means exactly that.

I took a look at the code, and it seems the author info was in pyproject.toml which is not license.

if there was a comment that said // TODO(username) and google removed all comments, is that violating any license?

hungryhobbit•1h ago
Sounds like they need a good copyright lawyer.

It seems like an open and shut case, and I hear this Google company might have a few $$$ to pay for a settlement ...

We are beyond this now, if you complain, they can have an agent rewrite it and then it's not copied anymore. It doesn't matter and the bigger wallet wins, let it go.
