Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source
(www.phoronix.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I was referring to this which started it all.
Here is the code in question. Basically, it's a source-available, but not FOSS internal SDK, with the following language:
So I think the "bug" here is in not linking the original repo in the NPM package, and there's a decent chance that this internal SDK will become FOSS in the future once it stabilizes. That said, it's currently not FOSS, but it's too early IMO to determine whether Bitwarden is moving in a non-FOSS direction, or if they're just trying to keep things simple while they do some heavy refactoring to remove redundancy across apps.
Given their past, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I'll be making sure I have regular backups in case things change.
