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
Proton Pass is another option that’s open-source and is good if you already use Proton services. Aside from the controversy regarding donations towards the Republican party in the U.S. (which was handled relatively well all things considered, but still something to be aware of), I’m not a fan of having all your eggs in one basket (email, calendar, drive, passwords, etc. in one account), but it might work for some people. I also prefer having passwords stored locally, since it makes it easier to backup + I don’t need to rely on yet another cloud service.
Scratch that, maybe don’t use Proton Pass. Just did some more searching, their CEO has donated millions of dollars to the Republican party. They’ve also supporting some alt-right French influencer (from my quick searching, a lot of racism, conspiracy, Holocaust denial, homophobia, transphobia, that sort). Yikes!
My bad for not looking more into this!
