Bitwarden New CEO has extensive M&A, Private equity experience, Removes Transparency from its Motto (www.fastcompany.com)

I find this move concerning, and wish that the Founder had looked for a new CEO that shared his values rather than a Private Equity and Mergers Expert.

Furthermore, the change to the GRIT motto is worrying. Trust is useless without Transparency when it comes to code and security.

I wasn't certain what the bitwarden clients were licensed under.

...but if they're all GPL, then yeah - it'll just get forked. Just like terraform vs opentufu. Just like MySQL vs MariaDB - it's a tale as old as time (unfortunately).
