Some guy at bitwarden clicks a button wrong on a license drop-down option and all these people crawl out of the woodwork to declare the end of bitwarden being trustworthy. Nothing in the article or the company's statements indicates an actual move away from open source. Big nothingburger

Maybe you want to read the comment by kspearrin in that Github issue again. They are clearly moving away from open source. He explicitly states that they are in the process of moving more code to their proprietary "SDK" library.

Sooo, where's ProtonPass at? They're open source and non-profit, right?

The server is not open source and I wouldn't trust a business that is not just working on password managers.

Its worth noting I don't think they're actually a company anymore, I think they're now a non-profit (I may be mistaken, but that's my present understanding)

Alright does anyone have opinions on Nextcloud Passwords? There's apps for it and it would sync to my Nextcloud.

I hate this. Bitwarden has been a good app.

Bitwarden has been a good app.

And it still is. There's no reason to stop using Bitwarden, and I will continue my plans to switch to Vaultwarden.

As @Krzd@lemmy.world said, it's a packaging bug, not an actual change in license. If you read the article, it says as much in the update.
