Hello everyone!
Starting in the next release, the Bitwarden apps published to the various stores will be the commercially licensed builds. No action is needed, and the apps will work exactly as they do today.
Bitwarden remains committed to open source security and transparency The GPLv3 OSS licensed version continues to be updated and published on GitHub All current features are available in both versions License details are on GitHub Bitwarden remains committed to a robust, free forever plan for everyoneIf you have any questions, please ask them in this thread. Thanks all!
EDIT:
Bitwarden is not going closed-source You can still fork Bitwarden No change to self-hosting, the licensing change affects those who are repackaging and reselling Bitwarden The free plan is here to stay permanently
I think all of us can just move to using Vaultwarden, it seems to fix problems even in the old free version of Bitwarden.
Yeah I’m thinking I’ll finally spin up Vaultwarden and move away from Bitwarden. I’m just hoping they develop their own apps for it
The protocol is the same, anyone can build an app.
The issue is, the bitwarden app you still use is what is affected by this change.
Only if you are reselling bitwarden. The client apps are still free for personal use.
So these changes affect the client app too? If that’s the case can’t the client app be replaced?
At that point the only thing that would remain is the protocol itself
