Comment on Update: Bitwarden posted to X this evening to reaffirm that it's a "packaging bug" and that "Bitwarden remains committed to the open source licensing model."

  To borrow a fast approaching cliche phrase, the enshitification process has begun.

  They sent out a trial balloon by updating licensing to move further away from an open source model, with a wide range of implications.

  They’ve now backed off claiming “it was a bug”, but it’s not like their MBA’s are business strategy wunderkinds. They’re just rehashing the same old strategy, and going by the downvotes my comment received, there’s still an audience that believes them.

  But who are they kidding? This isn’t going away, and when someone shows you who they are, you should believe them.

  Like I said earlier, the only variable is the timetable. The destination is a foregone conclusion.
