I understand that the intention is not for IBM to pull the rug from
under Postfix, or else I would not be working there.

However, people perceive termination as a possibility. That is a
problem that inhibits the acceptance of Postfix, a project that I
put a lot of work into over the past two years.

We're trying to fix the license.  That's all I have to say for now.
