Desktop version 2024.10.0 is no longer free software · Issue #11611 · bitwarden/clients

I'm unfamiliar with bitwarden's licence and skimmed through the issue and my understanding is:

1. To use bitwarden API you must use SDK
2. To use SDK you are obligated to be the official application, otherwise you violate the licence
3. The official application is GPL but since SDK is somehow 'separate program' it is considered OK to couple with a more restrictive license

However, our goal is to make sure that the SDK is used in a way that maintains GPL compatibility.

This is something I completely fail to understand other that mental gymnastics to bend the truth enough to not look like they are not quite right

Edit: is my understanding correct? It looks like this is not the first project that becomes 'source available' after being FOSS in the past, as of lately

Ight, imma go back to KeePass

EDIT: Jesus FUCKING Christ! £59.99 for Strongbox Pro‽ I've got to get an Android at some point...

Scummy behavior from Bitwarden, especially the locking of the issue. It's clear they have no intention of preserving their open source efforts now that they've gotten big enough.

Glad I don't need to rely on this project. Get fucked, Bitwarden.

Being able to build the app as you are trying to do here is an issue we plan to resolve and is merely a bug.
