Answer of Bitwarden founder:

Thanks for sharing your concerns here. We have been progressing use of our SDK in more use cases for our clients. However, our goal is to make sure that the SDK is used in a way that maintains GPL compatibility.

  • the SDK and the client are two separate programs
  • code for each program is in separate repositories
  • the fact that the two programs communicate using standard protocols does not mean they are one program for purposes of GPLv3

    • Being able to build the app as you are trying to do here is an issue we plan to resolve and is merely a bug.

    The fact that they would even think about attempting to subvert the GPL (much less actually pulling through with it) makes me think they have stopped being an open source company a while ago.
