Not really. It was keeping them honest. This wasn't like the Winamp thing. Bitwarden has proudly proclaimed itself as "Open Source" from day one. It's right on their front page. It's in their marketing materials. It's in their podcast advertisements.

I pay for Bitwarden based on the premise that it is open source. If it tries to pull a Meta and decide that "open source" suddenly means whatever they want it to mean in defiance of the commonly-understood meaning, I want to know about it.

I'm glad they righted the ship on this.
