Open Source the network plugin #2381

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. In order to send prints over the network, an additional network plugin must be downloaded and installed (on linux this is saved to ~/.config/BambuStudio/plugins/libbambu_networking.so).

I use NixOS, and although I am able to get Bambu Studio running with the appimage, I am not able to use the network plugin. I think this is because the appimage depends on additional dynamic libraries that it can't correctly find on my system.

Describe the solution you'd like The source for libbambu_networking.so is made available, so that I can build it for the paltforms I care about (NixOS, in my case).

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

It seems that this would be a violation of the AGPL, which this software is licensed under. Maybe I am missing something. @bambulab, have you communicated with @prusa3d or @slic3r about this?

This is clearly an AGPL violation, many thanks to Pruša/Slic3r guys for choosing this license.

Not only this is required to make builds for another platforms, but also to fix inherent deficiencies of their software like LAN-only printer scan without a possibility to add your own printer by IP when it resides in a dedicated subnet.

Even the debug logs (sic!) are encrypted in the network plugin.
