If they're moving away from open source/more monetisation then they're going to do one of two things.
1: Make the client incompatible (e.g you'll need to get hold of and prevent updating of a current client).
2: DMCA the vaultwarden repo
If they're going all-in on a cash grab, they're not going to make it easy for you to get a free version.
You can't "dmca" the fork that was created while it was still open source. They could only prevent it from getting future updates (directly from them).

Don't forget option 3: someone writes a vaultwarden client independent of the closed-source crap.
If you can write a server that fully supports the client via the documented API, then you know everything you'd need to do to make a client as well.

Goddammit. It's getting to the point I'm going to have to figure out how to write my own app for this.
Thank you for the update! I would like to keep using it. I've been very happy with Bitwarden both as a password manager and a TOTP authenticator. I have even recommended it to my boss as an enterprise solution for us to use at work, and so far we are planning on replacing our current password database solution with Bitwarden.
Unfortunately, with "enshittification" being so common these days, it was very easy to believe they were also going to the dark side. I will remain cautiously optimistic after learning it was a packaging bug.
Here's a link to the post on X (yes, I hate X, too) in case anyone else is doubtful:
Yeah, I was worried about it too. I've become pretty cynical when it comes to everything becoming enshittified, but I'm hoping they stick to their word.

Alright does anyone have opinions on Nextcloud Passwords? There's apps for it and it would sync to my Nextcloud.
I hate this. Bitwarden has been a good app.
Nextcloud passwords is just a client for a KeePass vault.
I guess it's as good or bad as that can be, but I'm sure it's limited in functionality to KeePassxc with plugins.
