    Docker’s bad week

    Docker announced the sunsetting of Free Team subscriptions, which received criticism from some in the open source community. However, Docker clarified that it was not trying to force open source projects to pay.

Docker offers a sponsored open source tier that provides better benefits for open source projects. Docker collects feedback through various channels, including a public road map, external Docker Captains, and a Technical Advisory Group.
