What you may give up

No paid-feature limits established for this edition.

Official Bitwarden clients and external push services retain their own terms and availability; no official Bitwarden support for this server.
Missing or partial upstream features are implementation gaps, not paid unlocks; custom roles and public API coverage require review.

Tier A: AGPL server has no commercial edition gate in official feature documentation; broad vault/sharing functionality included. Unofficial Bitwarden-compatible server, not a full Bitwarden enterprise implementation. License source
