Folks, the docker runtime is open source, and not even the only one of its kind. They won't charge for that. If they tried to make it closed source, everyone would just laugh and switch to one of several completely free alternatives. They charge for hosting images, build time on their build servers, and various "premium" developer tools you don't need. In fact, you need none of this, you can do all of it yourself on whatever hardware you deem to be good enough. There are also many other hosted alternatives out there.

Docker thinks they have a monopoly, for some reason. If you use the technology, you are probably already aware that they don't.

Does that include running Windows containers? It seems like the alternatives don't support those.

Does anybody actually use that feature though?

There are always lost sheep in the fields.
