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.
Bitwarden is completely FOSS, both client and server
Not if you are being strict with the definition of FOSS.
Free and open source
Is free? Yep
Is OSS? Yep
Is it full libre? I think not, right? And I assume that is your actual issue with it?
FOSS is a standardized term. As the Free Software Foundation defines it:
You are not granted right to modify or distribute Bitwarden. You can inspect and use that to build your own. That is what Vaultwarden does.
So you wanna say it’s Source-Available, yes?
All I say is that it’s not FOSS in the strict sense.
