Since they've buried it a little:
"Specifically, small businesses (fewer than 250 employees AND less than $10 million in revenue) may continue to use Docker Desktop with Docker Personal for free.

- qeternity 5y agoWell, that makes it even cheaper.
- hbn 5y agoMaybe this is common knowledge, but I saw an ad recently for a company that offers money to snitch on your employer for using unlicensed software, or not paying for free-for-personal-use" software
- akdor1154 5y agoBusinesses that would knowingly risk this? Small. Businesses that would unknowingly risk this because some engineer just went and installed Docker Desktop because they couldn't be bothered chasing this through management and procurement? Well..
