Glad to hear the initial setup has gone well.

How do you know that to be true? What evidence do you have to support the hypothesis?

Even if the outcome you fear to be true comes to pass, that will not mean you were correct today.

Without evidence to support the hypothesis, you’re doing nothing more complicated than guessing the result of flipping a coin.

Because IBM has bought HashiCorp, and IBM also owns Red Hat, who has deep experience with fixing licensing issues (see: Qumranet).

I don’t think there’s much reason to switch. The licensing situation is likely to be cleared up within the next year, once the dust from the acquisition settles.
