I don't see any evidence that Koum collaborated with the author of this piece. It's more likely that the article is entirely based on leaks and rumors, like the majority of Silicon Valley gossip articles.

Yes it is absolutely a fantastic outcome for the team, probably life-changing for many of them. If their situation was what you described, they played their hand very well.

I'm surprised that the price isn't higher. It was my understanding that Weebly is highly profitable, which would normally give them lots of leverage in any negotiation. What am I missing? Maybe there is a ridiculous amount of Squa

This looks like a great project. I have a few questions in case the maintainers read this. - Do you plan to stay up-to-date with new Moby releases, or is it a one-time hard fork? - Do you plan on contributing some of the IoT optimizations b

It's pretty clear that Docker has been focused on moving downstream. They want to add value by assembling open-source components into a complete platform that they can control and sell. They don't want to be the ones developing
