    This is an important issue IMO that needs to be addressed and the official response by Bitwardens CTO fails to do so.

    There is not even a reason provided why such a proprietary license is deemed necessary for the SDK. Furthermore this wasn’t proactively communicated but noticed by users. The locking of the Github Issue indicates that discussion isn’t desired and further communication is not to be expected.

    It is a step in the wrong direction after having accepted Venture Capital funding, which already put Bitwardens opensource future in doubt for many users.

    This is another step in the wrong direction for a company that proudly uses the opensource slogan.

      Welp, I guess another time to move here soon.

      And I just fucking vouched for them to a friend recently 🤡

      Didn’t know about VC funding these parasites using their funding to turn everything into shite.

      What’s the current “best” alternative? Keepass?

        I haven’t jumped yet, but the Proton suite is looking more and more appealing. I’ve been eyeing them as a Gmail replacement, but I’ve been happy with my VPN and password management providers. As this reduces the bundle makes more sense.

          They have a solid value proposition but don’t like putting all my eggs all in one basket both for security and monopoly reasons.

          They seem to be gunning for one stop shop and I think they are doing decent shop but I just don’t like the idea after what Google did to us.

          Situation is a bit different but gonna need to tka the lessons and not let these corpos do this again.

    Oh, for fuck’s sake. Can we have a decent password manager that isn’t tied to a browser or company? I pay for Bitwarden. I’m not being cheap. But open source is more secure. We can look at the code ourselves if there’s a concern.
