I suspect that you'd still need a Windows Server license to start off with. It may or may not need a VM under the hood, but that's a MS thing to figure out. They certainly couldn't license a container the same way as a full Windows VM or bare metal install.

Id expect that since the idea is having your windows container running on a windows host, that each version of windows server will have a "this edition allows X number of containers" limit. This would line up with how they treat VMs. Lets hope the number is 5x the current VM limits.
