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.

No Android app though?

Ty, exploring alternative tools. I really don't like last pass due to their lax data security and 1 Password for the same reason.

Bitwarden still earns my $10/year.

No excuse to not look into it now. Hopefully it uses Android autofill.

It does support autofill
