I am now on the hunt for a non vibe coded alternative. I stopped open sourcing code after all my open code's licenses were broken by Microsoft and everyone else commercialising it. Which I guess is part of the point of why they did it and have put serious money to defending themselves in court against anyone that dare challenge it. Suffice to say I don't want anything to do with projects that participated in that theft and re-commercialisation of open source code.

Does not look like the original Keepass project is doing this which is the easiest migration away but I will check a bit deeper on their commits to be sure.

The original Keepass project has 11 CVEs. XC has 3, and has disputed all of them with e.g. "the vendor disputes this because memory-management constraints make this unavoidable in the current design and other realistic designs", etc.

Additionally, the original KeePass project has no public development or public review process for their code. They do everything behind the scenes and only publish code when a release is made. KeePass is "code available" open source.
