Dashlane Publishes Its Source Code To GitHub In Transparency Push
At first, the code will be open for auditing purposes only, but in the future it may start accepting contributions too –” however, there is no suggestion that it will go all-in and allow the public to fork or otherwise re-use the code in their own applications. Dashlane has released the code under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 license, which technically means that users are allowed to copy, share and build upon the codebase so long as it’s for non-commercial purposes. However, the company said that it has stripped out some key elements from its release, effectively hamstringing what third-party developers are able to do with the code. […]
“The main benefit of making this code public is that anyone can audit the code and understand how we build the Dashlane mobile application,” the company wrote. “Customers and the curious can also explore the algorithms and logic behind password management software in general.

Moreover, so-called “white-hat hackers” will now be better equipped to earn bug bounties. “Transparency and trust are part of our company values, and we strive to reflect those values in everything we do,” Dashlane continued. “We hope that being transparent about our code base will increase the trust customers have in our product.”
