Vaultwarden updated link
Open source version of bitwarden written in rust.
Where is the foundation to support foss?!?
If they're moving away from open source/more monetisation then they're going to do one of two things.
1: Make the client incompatible (e.g you'll need to get hold of and prevent updating of a current client).
2: DMCA the vaultwarden repo
If they're going all-in on a cash grab, they're not going to make it easy for you to get a free version.
You can't "dmca" the fork that was created while it was still open source. They could only prevent it from getting future updates (directly from them).
If you mean they shouldn't. I'd agree. But, as has been seen a lot on youtube. "They" can DMCA anything they want, and the only route out is usually to take them to court.
I mean I'd hope if they're going in this direction they will be decent about it. But, it's not the way things seem to be lately.
