Update: Bitwarden posted to X this evening to reaffirm that it's a "packaging bug" and that "Bitwarden remains committed to the open source licensing model."

This is an update to a post that was previously shared in the community: Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source
I'm not sure how it could be a bug but I notice a lot of complaining(1) and calls to move to KeePass. It reminds me of the complaining(1) about Windows and how everyone should move to Linux. Lemmy was itching to torch BitWarden. We seem to have a mob mentality, with little ability to consider possible explanations and multiple factors.
As a long time Linux + KeePass user:
FUCK Windows and Microsoft for everything they've done to the general public and open-source software with their shit. Yeah yeah they are turning around, but still fuck them.
I have no strong feeling towards Bitwarden, but I will never put my secrets into anything non-FOSS. And I sync it with my Nextcloud.
Stallman was right about software.
I thought bitwarden was open source?
Was yes. They have introduced an "internal sdk" into all their clients with no available source code. That's what everyone's complaining about. They call it a "packaging bug", but in reality Bitwarden clients are just no longer open source.
