I know they are not revoking existing licenses. But not selling for new license says a lot. And who knows how long we could keep our local instance without moving to their SaaS environment. It'll be good to prepare for an alternative just in case. And you don't have to go for alternative, and you don't want to be boxed in.

Your highlighted portion mentions sales alone. I read this as, if new libraries want EZProxy, they can get it- just hosted. For those of us who already have it as a stand alone- no worries, they will continue to support.
