Vaultwarden updated link

Open source version of bitwarden written in rust.

Where is the foundation to support foss?!?

If they're moving away from open source/more monetisation then they're going to do one of two things.

1: Make the client incompatible (e.g you'll need to get hold of and prevent updating of a current client).
2: DMCA the vaultwarden repo

If they're going all-in on a cash grab, they're not going to make it easy for you to get a free version.

Don't forget option 3: someone writes a vaultwarden client independent of the closed-source crap.

If you can write a server that fully supports the client via the documented API, then you know everything you'd need to do to make a client as well.

That’s not a third option in the same list (things they are going to do), it’s an item in an entirely different list (foss responses to their actions).
