Bitwarden Desktop version 2024.10.0 is no longer free software (github.com)

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.

Damn, I just switched from Bitwarden to KeepPassXC.

Clearly just in time. Lol.

I'll be there in a week or 2 bud. Fuck these companies baiting and then enshitifying it all.
