It's a short sited move that will kill D.Desktop. It's not that these large corps don't have the money for this, it's how money is allocated in companies. Instead, now all hobby projects in large corp get killed fast and early because the hobbyist knows their project is doomed if the company isn't going to go for a new bill.
A whole bunch of scenarios die now.
- cshokie 5y agoI agree that it seems self-destructive. I use Docker Desktop at work for a one-off side project that I run manually every once in a while. Using a container for it helps keep things maintainable compared to a full VM that needs full maintenance. If I have to get formal approval and a purchase to continue using it then the most likely outcome is this side project stops completely. And with it my excuse to gain professional experience using Docker.
- seoaeu 5y ago...if a company is incapable of allocating money to pay Docker, then why should Docker care whether that company uses the product or not?
- lugged 5y agoYou can't figure out why a company selling a product might want to care about losing users and market share?
- seoaeu 5y ago"Selling" and "market share" is pretty generous when talking about people who are not and will never give you any money. Sure maybe they'll pay you in exposure, but personally I wouldn't bet much on that
