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
Even if they are backtracking with egg on their face, this is good. Maybe better. Now they know they can’t get away with this stuff.
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.
It's really not a big deal.
That’s not a strong way to start a comment if you want to have a conversation.
I don’t particularly care about your feelings, but go right ahead.
I’m curious though, did I say or imply they were AN OPEN SOURCE COMPANY (TM) (whatever the fuck that even means?)
Of course. And I’m free to post on this fucking website how I feel about it.
Isn’t all this freedom to discuss our feelings just fucking great?
Options about this obviously differ.
Neither is tone policing.
Dang, you angry.
