I don't get it - why would one pay for something that comes for free on every Mac? Bootstrapping one in Swift is quite straightforward and there are a number of tools and apps (with UI) like virt (https://github.com/apinske/virt https://github.com/apinske/virt)
- duskwuff 3y agoI guess their selling point is the container registry?

Unfortunately, our enthusiasm wasn't met by big companies. You can check this blog post for more details https://tart.run/blog/2023/02/11/changing-tart-license/ https://tart.run/blog/2023/02/11/changing-tart-license/. The free usage is pretty generous: free on any amount of personal computers including personal workstations and up to 100 cores (12 Mac Minis) when installed on servers. If your organizations needs a bigger installation then it's probably values the product and can budget out a little bit to support it.
