  That says that it is a bug.

    It says the build error is a bug, not the inclusion of proprietary code.

      To be fair, the project page says this:

      The password manager SDK is not intended for public use and is not supported by Bitwarden at this stage. It is solely intended to centralize the business logic and to provide a single source of truth for the internal applications. As the SDK evolves into a more stable and feature complete state we will re-evaluate the possibility of publishing stable bindings for the public. The password manager interface is unstable and will change without warning.

      So there are two ways this can go:

      • they complete the refactor and release it as FOSS
      • they complete the refactor and change the clients to be proprietary

      I’m going to stick with them until I see what they do once they complete the refactor.

        To be fair? Nowhere are they even suggesting they would release the SDK as FOSS, but they do say their password manager is open source. It seems like they just want a FOSS shell so they can claim it’s open source for but keep their business logic closed source.
