Desktop version 2024.10.0 is no longer free software · Issue #11611 · bitwarden/clients

Pull request #10974 introduces the @bitwarden/sdk-internal dependency which is needed to build the desktop client. The dependency contains a licence statement which contains the following clause:

You may not use this SDK to develop applications for use with software other than Bitwarden (including non-compatible implementations of Bitwarden) or to develop another SDK.

This violates freedom 0.

It is not possible to build desktop-v2024.10.0 (or, likely, current master) without removing this dependency.

  • Fuck. Is it difficult to export my data to something like Keypass? Very disappointed to hear this.

    • Bitwarden has an export functionality. Export to JSON, import in Keepass, done.

      There's KeePassXC if you want Linux support (keepass2 file is compat with XC variant).

      • Thank you! It seems this whole thing was a misunderstanding however. It was an error on Bitwarden's part that they intend to correct. I may still switch to kepassxc later on, mostly to save the money.
