Isn't Vaultwarden used with non-free Bitwarden clients?

The clients are free.

They now require a non-free Bitwarden SDK component. That's what this whole conversation is about.

"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 is a condition when using their SDK. This is not considered a free (as in freedom) component because it violates freedom 0: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html#four-freedoms
