Should we be taking care of this (e.g. to not vomit .terraform.versions
dir with arbitrary file)?

NOTE:
Starting with this release, we are including a copy of our license file in all packaged versions of our releases, such as the release .zip files. If you are consuming these files directly and would prefer to extract the one terraform file instead of extracting everything, you need to add an extra argument specifying the file to extract, like this:
unzip terraform_1.8.2_linux_amd64.zip terraform
We should make sure, that only the terraform binary is extracted from the archive.
