    So, the Docker engine is free, just not the software under certain stipulations. See I don’t like that. A weird caveat for using it.

          That’s true of all software. It may be subject to restrictions by governments. But in this case, it seems to refer to the fact that the US restricted export of cryptographic software, and seemingly continues to restrict. See also Bernstein v. United States.

          You mean Docker Desktop?

          Also iirc all software developed in the USA is subject to those restrictions.

            …iirc all software developed in the USA is subject to those restrictions.

            Oh, well, I didn’t knew about that, yeah.

            You mean Docker Desktop?

            And, in part yes, but these restrictions also apply to docker-cli and moby, although to a lesser extent

              What restrictions? The ones on all US software or something else?

                  The Apache License 2.0 does allow commercial use, and basically any other use. Can you say specifically where those restrictions are stated?
