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.

But... first sentence - in bold- states that they are not getting rid of
customer support for stand alone EzProxy- and that is reiterated throughout
the communication. 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.
