The original creator of Bitwarden still works there as a CTO. I am curious whether he has any failsafes/poison pills in his contract when he took VC money that allows him to fork the product and start over in the event that they decide they want to lock everything down.

Or did he sign all of those rights away when he took the $100M "fuck you" VC funding in 2022.

Do you need a contract like that when the product is open source? The only thing he couldn’t keep would be the name.

There would be nothing preventing him in the source license, but I'm saying he may be prevented as part of the contract he signed when he sold the company.
