Hello everyone!

Starting in the next release, the Bitwarden apps published to the various stores will be the commercially licensed builds. No action is needed, and the apps will work exactly as they do today.

Bitwarden remains committed to open source security and transparency
The GPLv3 OSS licensed version continues to be updated and published on GitHub
All current features are available in both versions
License details are on GitHub
Bitwarden remains committed to a robust, free forever plan for everyone

If you have any questions, please ask them in this thread. Thanks all!

EDIT:

Bitwarden is not going closed-source
You can still fork Bitwarden
No change to self-hosting, the licensing change affects those who are repackaging and reselling Bitwarden
The free plan is here to stay permanently

So they're pulling a Mattermost?

This change has been coming for a while and I'm glad I started checking out KeepassXC. Will be moving over to that soon

Not sure why you're getting dv'd but you're right. Redis, Mongo, ElasticSearch all did this too. Latest offender was minio

Made the move some time back, just as Im wishing move as much as possible fully offline for a number of reasons. KeepassXC and DX are fantastic
