Bitwarden's Dual License Model Sparks Debate

Original: Bitwarden Dual License Model

Bitwarden's licensing approach is drawing attention after discussion around its dual license model, which combines an open-source license with a proprietary license for parts of its codebase. Users are debating what this means for the password manager's open-source credentials, transparency, and trust, particularly around whether the bitwarden-clients code remains fully auditable under the current licensing structure.

Why now: The password manager's user base is concerned about how the dual license affects transparency and the project's open-source status.
