And the three year conversion window gives you cover there. It's a question of will the Sentry of the next three years do that.
Nor do I, but for slightly different reasons.

I can't go up to a lawyer with years of experience trying and defending against BSL lawsuits and say "Is my usecase one Sentry can sue me for and win," because such a lawyer doesn't exist.
At least with other licenses, their actual legal limitations are well known, through case law and court rulings. The BSL in contrast is a legal liability that is probably not worth betting a small company on.
