"why yes, the open-source Apache-licensed implementation controlled by the linux foundation is just as commercial as the commercial thing! i'm so contrary and interesting!"

if you don't want docker-contributed code, here are some alternative implementations of the spec: https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec/blob/main/imp... I believe nix could use one of these with some volunteer effort? Perhaps you could even be the one to purge the Docker heresy from the project!

OCI is not an attempt for a useful, general-purpose, open containerization standard.

It is an attempt at an open-source "just good enough" Docker clone.

You understand the difference?
