This discussion is about an open source password manager. I wonder why you are recommending a closed source software? Are you aware that many people prefer open source for security software for a reason?

I think most Strongbox users did not notice it turned proprietary. It's not like Strongbox advertised the change :)

Correct. I did not realise this and am disappointed, having paid a pretty penny for the lifetime license. Reading the github thread, the surreptitious way they changed things is a bit of a dick move.
