I'm not in the Microsoft stack so I have no idea how much SQL Server and SQL Server Express are compatible. I only know they exist.
The README requires SQL Server so I might be excused thinking that it would work only with that software. Nice to know that it does work on the free version too. I googled and looked on MS site and didn't find out if SQL Server Express exists for Linux too, but I'm on my phone right now. I only managed to involuntarily download a .exe :-)

Thanks. Same binary for both versions but setting an environment variable makes it switch to Express.

Yes, SQL Server Express is available for Linux.
As Bitwarden states in the core readme (https://github.com/bitwarden/core#requirements) "These dependencies are free to use." And if you lookup the licensing on MSFTs website (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-2017-p...) you can see that the SQL Server Express version is free.
Note: No, I'm not an MSFT employee and not related in any way to the mentioned company. I'm just a (not so regular) human being who first looks up information before posting statements.
