Has that killed Bitwarden yet? There are many self-hosted projects that also have paid options.
I’d be happy with a paid (one-time fee) license for a self-hosted option with any software. Subscriptions should only be paying for data/storage, and if that’s offloaded to the customer’s local hardware, there’s no need to keep them on a subscription.
Especially for a product that’s privacy-first, that really should include a self-hosted option (paid or otherwise).

I didn’t say anything about “killing”.

You implied that it would hurt business, and that really doesn’t seem to be the case for other projects using a self-hosted/subscription business model.
If you meant something else, then I guess I misunderstood. No harm, no foul.

Hurting /= killing
