The core of docker needs to be free. The docker registry can charge corporate customers for storage and such, but besides being the default registry, there's not much money there because it's a commodity service, not anything unique. There's just not much money to be made there, especially considering that docker is a pretty thin wrapper built on top of a bunch of other free technology. When somebody can make a meaningful (though limited) clone of your core product in 100 lines of bash, you can't make much of a business on top of it [1] Docker suffers from being useful in the open source space but having no reasonable method to make revenue. https://github.com/p8952/bocker https://github.com/p8952/bocker
