Update: After Hackaday wrote a blog entry on their main page:
hackaday.com/2022/07/15/watch-out-for-lasercutter-manufacturers-violating-gpl
Things are changing. I got a roadmap from Ortur when and how they will open at least the grbl related code of the firmware. Things are changing for the good!

Meanwhile, the source code of Ortur firware is available on Github:
github.com/Ortur-Tech/Ortur_Laser_Firmware_14X
