Ask HN: Does this mean Docker is not open-source software?
https://www.docker.com/blog/the-grace-period-for-the-docker-subscription-service-agreement-ends-soon-heres-what-you-need-to-know/
I heard that OSS does not discriminate against particular use cases. If Docker soon requires a paid subscription for companies of a certain size, doesn't discriminate against a use case...or user (?)...so would that make it not free or OSS?
- asdfo789ysad7f 5y ago> I heard that OSS does not discriminate against particular use cases. Where did you get that from, and why do you base the rest of your reasoning on this straw.
- graderjs 5y agoWhy would you doubt that? You think I just don't know what I'm saying? You don't have any evidence, but your first instinct is to distrust...rather than be curious and learn more? I mean, do you have any proof it's not like that? Like...do you even fact check your question before you ask it? You think it's OK, to claim so confidently that what I'm saying is wrong, and questioning my reasoning when you've clearly missed the point and not done your research? Like ... what's that about? Because I introduce the modal "I heard" then you, smell blood? and think...hmm, they must not be sure, so I'm gonna attack that even tho I don't know? So, commenting and truth is all about posturing and signaling rather than facts? for you... really? It's incredible how much "flawlessly confident sounding rebuttal" is based on nothing. Don't you feel shame to leave that comment hanging there (i mean I guess you do because you're using a throw)? I mean it's not about truth this kind of comment, is it really a valid thing to do? You feel good about it? I just find it so funny and surprising. Obviously what I'm saying is not just about your comment, it's a whole pattern I've seen for ages. Your comment is an example: Here is the link (actually, linkS), to your "straw" (hahaha~~ unless you consider yourself a bigger authority on open source than opensource.org): - https://opensource.org/faq#restrict https://opensource.org/faq#restrict - https://opensource.org/docs/osd#fields-of-endeavor https://opensource.org/docs/osd#fields-of-endeavor - http://cardozolawreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/GREENBAUM.37.4.pdf http://cardozolawreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/GREEN... Why should I, in order to rebut this comment, go looking for evidence of it, rather than you doing so? Why not just trust? And if you don't trust, and you don't know, why not just do it respectfully and curiously? edit: I probably should have condensed this to like: "You say it very confidently, but I don't think you know what you're talking about. This is point 6 of OS definition. Link: ", but I basically just reply like I'm talking aloud. I'm working on more condensed replying in future...
- petee 5y agoYour link seems pretty specific that the subscription stuff is for Docker Desktop; I don't use Docker, but this seems to be a different product?
