Bitwarden Desktop version 2024.10.0 is no longer free software - eviltoast

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.

    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.
