Aren't you confusing them with Bambu?

Their slicer is based on Prusa's exactly because Prusa isn't doing closed source.

One of the latest Prusa printer is closed source If I remember correctly Core xy

Thanks for the link.

Looks like not really closed-source, but not fully open as the previous printers were.
And the reasoning is the usual, other companies stealing their designs. :/
