Pull request #10974 introduces the @bitwarden/sdk-internal dependency which is needed to build the desktop client. The dependency contains a licence statement which contains the following clause:

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 violates freedom 0.

It is not possible to build desktop-v2024.10.0 (or, likely, current master) without removing this dependency.

    @bitwarden bitwarden locked and limited conversation to collaborators

    They also locked the thread 16 hours ago (as of writing this comment), with no explanation.

      The explanation is the second-to-last comment before it got locked. 🤦

      This hysteria is really stupid.

        That’s the technical explanation for the changes, no an explanation for closing the discussion all together.

          That may or may not be the case, but the comment I replied to said they locked the thread with “no explanation”.

            I would say a proper explanation includes the goal you want to achieve, not just the statement that you think that you are allowed to do something.
