So far Docker seems to be a good citizen when it comes to FOSS, hopefully that will continue.
I've been following the Mirage and rumpkernel lists for a while and its nice to see these hackers getting traction (and money!) for their efforts.
Not too long ago unikernel.org was started, which IIRC was billed as a community driven "one stop shop" for information on the subject, which I assume is independent of the company "Unikernel Systems". Hopefully Docker won't go rogue and start attacking others that use the term "unikernel" by claiming that its trademarked or something like that.
Congratulations Amir et al!
- justincormack 11y agoI don't believe unikernel is a trademark.
- amirmc 11y agoUnikernel Systems was supporting the community site (i.e. paying for stuff) and that will continue with Docker. It's important that the open-source work continues to grow and that all the projects benefit from each other. unikernel.org just got started so we need help to grow it and make it the place to go. Also, the word 'unikernel' is used like a generic term and as far as I know it's not trademarked.
