My comment was to answer the question of: “Why is this relevant?” (Its been asked a lot). It’s relevant because Bitwarden is claiming that they “cannot see your passwords”.

Bitwarden is a zero-knowledge encryption password manager. This means that Bitwarden as a company cannot see your passwords. They remain encrypted end-to-end with your individual email and Master Password. Bitwarden never stores and cannot access your Master Password.

At which point it simply gets forked from the last release/commit. Unless the project nukes all of the history and no one comes forward with a backup.

And, they would typically need the consent of every contributor to legally change the license, unless they had been forcing contributors to sign over rights to their code before contribution.
