      Docker Engine (which is the core of what people think of as “Docker”) is FOSS. Docker Desktop (which most people rely on for local development) is free for individuals but I believe the license says companies over a certain size are required to pay.

      And on top of that the paid plans also come with support, which large businesses frequently require, and private repositories on docker’s image repository.

        Glad I run everything in a VM. If you want my money you can accept donations, and sell support contracts.

        The moment you hide features or code behind a paywall or proprietary license, is the moment you no longer get my fucking money.

        Granted random weirdos who donate to FLOSS projects probably weren’t paying dockers bill anywho.
