How on earth does that work? Is that something the GPL license even allows?
This sounds like they're just taking a GPL licensed application and using it for themselves to make money.
To get any PR merged in Bitwarden, you are forced to sign a CLA that reassigns copyright to Bitwarden Inc so they can relicense as they wish.

GPL doesn't apply in this case, since the copy that you are acquiring is entirely under the commercial license.
Ah I see, yes that would explain it. That makes this a bit more concerning I suppose.

by which it means "no new features will land in OSS versions", as is tradition for open core development
