Bitwarden Desktop version 2024.10.0 is no longer free software (github.com)

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.

Does anyone have experience with keyguard? From a cursory glance, this + vaultwarden seems like a good alternative...

License

The source code is available for personal use only.

That doesn't really seem like an improvement, although do they say they're planning on releasing it under the FSL.

Too bad, the app is really nice to use :/
