Yes, I remember the Docker thing, but I also remember that at least the language parsers we were interested in were only supported through some kind of plugin mechanism, which the OSS version did not support, so it was useless for us, so I didn't ever bother testing it.

Nice. How to get free marketing by strapping Open Source to your product and writing a bunch of announcements.
