Hi Thierry, 

   We just got granted the Atlassian Open Source license for our Nordix environment:
       "We are happy to grant you the requested Open Source Cloud subscription. Your Atlassian Cloud Instance xxxxxxxxxxx.atlassian.net has been converted to Open Source."
  I will look at the migration options next week.

Best regards
Robert
