Damage done. It became a great example of why it isn’t a good idea to rely on an engine operated by a corporate entity, since there’s always a chance your product will be directly affected by some external executive’s random choice.

Docker Desktop now has a license cost for medium+ sized businesses. Docker Engine remains open source, but the desktop UI as well as the tech that makes Docker work on Windows (and Mac?) is now no longer free.

I got personally screwed by this when I sunk the cash into Substance Painter / Designer, and then they “joined the Adobe family.”

At this point any software in my pipeline that’s not FOSS would be considered a point of vulnerability.
