Is there any reason to? It's kinda nice that they all stick to the same contract. I don't really like the Bitwarden desktop app, but because there's so much code out there, it was pretty easy to have an LLM write a detailed spec for a client and then implement something that works for me.
The question is, what structure can protect this in an ongoing way? Say you setup a non-profit foundation, even those seemingly can be perverted to become for-profit businesses with corporate shenanigans (see OpenAI), so if you wanted to somehow "guarantee this group always release things this way", is there any legal structure that can enforce this somehow, "forever"?
Bitwarden is still releasing free builds but yeah you'd need a new project with a new name to use it from the Play Store or App Store.
Turns out Keyguard, an alternative Bitwarden client is already on the Play Store.
https://github.com/AChep/keyguard-app
Edit: turns out Keyguard is source available but fully copyrighted.
So if we now have Vaultwarden + keyguard can these things move away from Bitwardens api and pursue their own?
