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

Minio also deleted the repos altogether about two weeks ago.

Yeah well, didn't know this. I'm still running some old minio instances on my home server. Need to check if the docker images are still around otherwise I urgently need a backup plan...

Fucking hell, why didn't they at least leave the old code available 😭

I moved from minio to garage a few months ago, and it was surprisingly easy to do

At some point I need to move ente over to garage but keep putting it off.

I tried to stand up a notesnook insurance to test a couple days ago and it kept failing because minio doesn't exist anymore.

They really fucked a lot of people.
