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 everyone
If 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
KeyGuard is proprietary on Android. Certain features are locked behind a subscription or one time purchase.
I’m starting to also hate on this model. People who claim to be open source but still throw hurdles and obstacles at anyone trying to either use or contribute to the project. I understand people need to support themselves financially, but I have donated to many free projects and open projects in my life. Whenever I see a paywall it makes me not want to use the project, however interesting it might be. It sucks they are usually the only almost decent android clients. (Looking at Symphonium and their developer’s shit ass attitude too)
EDIT: Just tried it and it seems like vaultwarden login and custom certificates on linux have been fried since December. It is currently a dead-end for selfhosters.
