Your question is still a good one, but hoping the above context makes the "so tea as a blanket category just... works?" less absurd.
She's a lawyer and professor in precisely this area. You could read the wikipedia article, and try to confirm your bias. Or, you can read the book, written by an expert, and broaden your perspective.
Free Software sounds cheap or trashy. It requires explanation. "Free as in beer, and Free as ..."
Open Source is a marketing term to avoid that stigma.
For a lighter overview, I think the big features are: team workflow, security, and CI/CD pipeline.
Team workflow is just how easy it is to get going / share with your team. IMO, ECR or GCR will have a natural edge here if you're already on their cloud. Tagging is important too, but I think everyone supports that.
Security is both the details of transport (SSL, etc), and whether your containers are getting scanned. Quay.io and Docker Hub both do security scanning for private repos. Quay has a slight edge in that public repos also get scanned thanks to Clair. I believe GCR and ECR lag behind here.
CI/CD pipeline is important because your registry becomes a big chunk of your build. This is what's going to really take time to investigate and dig into. You want to make sure it's easy to add hooks to git or w/e, and troubleshoot build issues (good logging, auditing, etc).
Full disclosure I work at CoreOS and with the Quay folks. That said, I also think they're constantly probing into cool frontiers. I think Clair changed registry security. The team's also started doing cool stuff for k8s users [1].
Lastly, I'm not totally sure on this last bit, but I think Docker Hub has a slight usability edge if you're on Docker EE (swarm).
Summarizing: I think big cloud vendors will naturally always lag a little behind. They'll make up for it with convenience if you're already on their cloud. Registries whose main purpose is to be a registry (like Quay) will naturally innovate a little faster.

Otherwise, it's a nice looking font for the editor.
I've met Keith a few weeks ago at the NodeJS NYC meetup. Great dude, who genuinely wants to make development better. Polybit seems particularly cool for front-end / designers, mobile devs, and anyone else who'd rather build an app than fret over the high availability, scalability, or etc.
What I'm saying is: cool idea + Keith's very approachable if ya wanna pick his brain about the design :)
Hope this goes well for ya dude!

Apache Kudu: fast reads AND writes
Numbers without context are meaningless.
Stop using the term "activist investor". It strongly connotes political and social change.
That is not your intent. Find better words.

Is Open Source Eating the World?
I fucking love CTE's for breaking apart ugly looking queries. They make everything significantly easy to read.
I'd argue Math is still slow and error-prone. Ask any math PHD candidate. Computation is fast, but Math itself has more layers, and more branches than ever. Sound familiar?
That said, some smarties are trying to remove unnecessary layers in programming. I feel like rump/Uni-kernels are looking to simplify the stack. [1] The clear linux project is removing some pieces from the stack. [2]
TL;DR Math is about as noisy as programming :/ I don't buy the premise. But, I enjoyed the read!
I love it when the Keen peeps put out this type of content. Makes it easy to start a convo in house by passing a link + starting a conversation.

For instance, the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is basically just looking for opportunities to have the biggest possible impact.
I think a lot of your future goals may line up: clean energy, global healthcare, etc.
Has it been shared with any of the folks at the open container initiative? opencontainers.org
I'm sure they'd love to collab.

Tangential: I wish these online slideshare allowed slide comments or inline annotations. Dying to know what the Brahe + Kepler page was about :)
Can't tell if that ticks your boxes or not. If you're interested we're free to try.
