On the one hand, I'm sad that I probably have to uninstall docker desktop because I only use it for small side projects, on the other I understand Docker Inc's need to monetize as a for profit company.
I do have a genuine question though. Can a company just change their pricing structure and make it effective immediately(I understand they have a grace period here)? I guess for free tiers they probably can, because the users have never paid them, but what if I'm a paying customer? Could Docker simply say sorry we have changed our pricing from next billing cycle(or tomorrow) you have to pay 100% more. Could they legally do something like that?
