Description

The bundled Bitwarden license is outdated.

While all refer to version 1 released in 2020, there have been two new versions in the meantime:

  • Version from 26 March 2021, which adds section 2.5 about trademarks.
  • Version from 24 January 2024, which modifies section 2.5 to update an URL.

See the corresponding commit history at https://github.com/bitwarden/server/commits/main/LICENSE_BITWARDEN.txt for more details.

How To Reproduce

Match https://scancode-licensedb.aboutcode.org/bitwarden-1.0.html with https://github.com/bitwarden/server/blob/main/LICENSE_BITWARDEN.txt

What a shame that the bitwarden server team does not understand license versioning. The revised license text at https://github.com/bitwarden/server/blob/main/LICENSE_BITWARDEN.txt still begins with:

BITWARDEN LICENSE AGREEMENT
Version 1, 4 September 2020

Not helpful at all. When you revise a license you really need to create a new version and put a meaningful date on it.

We can address this by creating a new one that assigns a meaningful license key suffix. Work in progress.
