    I was really sceptical of the CTOs first response, but this does actually seem to be genuinely good news.

    If that wasn’t on purpose than that was a big fuckup. I was sometimes thinking about testing Bitwarden but with this volatile license situation I’m not interested anymore.

      Something tells me you’re the kind of person who sees a car turn the same direction as you twice and starts freaking out that you’re being followed…

      You can do what you like, but the change is sane, and they’ve now separated their Secrets Manager, which is their proprietary software for businesses, from their primary client, which is GPL.

      IMO, the internet is doing that thing again where they invent villains.

          They didn’t try anything. Stop inventing. Go read an actual article on the subject instead of feeding the scarebait frenzy.

            I wish it’s just pananoia though I think that statement only in the skeptical realm, and I wish nothing substantial changed. I’m hosting vaultwarden currently for my family. To them the app on their phone is paramount. However, it is proven some will go that route, like Android. After all, a for -profit company goal is to make money.

            There is a risk and a probability one need to evaluate. Nothing wrong to plan for an exit, but abandoning the software right now is simply overreaction.

            As long as I can use it with a self-hosted server with features they expect, I’m don’t think I will move away from it.

              This is a much more level take than your first comment.

                It is not always I want to write this long to explain what in my thoughts. The conclusion remains the same as my first comment.

                I always maintain a healthy dose of skepticism on anything. Not that they would do it again and it is highly probable that’s only a mistake but no one can tell except Bitwarden themselves. However, all the outsiders like us can only take their statement at face value and some skepticism will keeps eyes sharp.

      “I only read the headline and the comments from the threads a week ago, I am truly disappointed in Bitwarden’s stance against FOSS as I’ve misunderstood it.”

    Cool.

    I just started using Bitwarden almost a year now. I don’t know how I lived without it before? It’s nice to know I wont have to switch to something else.
