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."
Every company does this, they put out a trial balloon, see how badly it tests, and then just wait for the right time when nobody notices. Usually during real crises in the world.
Man, I really hate seeing comments like this. I feel like I need to reiterate that BitWarden is NOT an open-source company. They are committed to providing open-source compatible products with their products. Two very different things.
If they feel their product is somehow lacking or affected by whatever they are packaging right now, they are completely free to change it. They also have no barriers to entry for users who wish to use another client.
