If you are interested in privacy you are probably interested in password storage … plus I wanted everyone to know about the inevitable future enshitification of this product. Spread the word and replacement recommendations are welcome too.
That’s the difference between libre software and merely open source software.

Open source licenses are much more permissive and allow any entity to produce a closed source derivation at any time.
Libre licenses are all about strategically protecting the software commons from privatization.
