Well... crap. The path to enshittification is now set. If it isn't forked already, someone better do so now.

Oct 11, 2026, 8:47 AM@collectifission valt mee toch. Het is alleen maar voor resellers anders.
- Bitwarden will always have a free and open source version.
- Bitwarden is not going closed-source
- You can still fork Bitwarden
- No change to self-hosting, the licensing change affects those who are reselling Bitwarden
- The free plan is here to stay permanently- Emil Jacobs - CollectifissioncollectifissionOct 11, 2026, 8:49 AM
@noize Ja, ik ken die "verzekeringen" wel. Ik heb ze iets te vaak gehoord zelfs de afgelopen twintig jaar.

@maxwainwright The problem is that this is a clear signal that things will progressively get worse from this point on out: a dead open source branch, no community oversight, price hikes, degrading support (which can only be delivered by the company from here on out) because support is expensive, etc.
This won’t happen overnight, but we’ve seen it happen many times before.

@collectifission ok, thanks, good to know that i haven’t missed something. No rush to change to something else for me then
