Merge pull request 'Update Docker image for testing' (#838) from update-build-image into main
Thank you for submitting your application to the Docker Open Source Program. We are excited to have you as a part of our tremendously talented developer community, and we appreciate that you took the time to fill out this application. We are in the process of reviewing your application, and we will get back to you as soon as we have any updates. Please bear with us as we go through this process, since this program has generated a lot of excitement, and we are moving through the review process as quickly as we can.
Docker New Image Retention and Data Egress Policies
In August, we announced that we are creating new policies for image retention and data pull rates. We made these changes to build Docker into a sustainable business for the long term, so that we can continue supporting our community and our ecosystem. We got great feedback from our extensive user base, and adjusted our policies to suspend the policies on image retention. The plan for data pull rates is moving forward, and on Nov 2, we have started to gradually change the existing pull rates to the new limits
Unauthenticated users will be restricted to 100 pulls every 6 hours Authenticated free users will be restricted to 200 pulls every 6 hours
Docker Open Source Policy
Docker remains highly committed to providing a platform where the non-commercial open source developers can continue collaborating, innovating and pushing this industry into new directions. For the approved, non-commercial, open source namespaces, Docker will suspend data pull rate restrictions, with no egress restrictions applying to any Docker users pulling images from those namespaces
Open Source Qualification Criteria
To qualify the Publisher namespace for the Open Source Program status, the Publisher namespace -
Must be shared in public repos Is not funded by commercial company or organization Meets the Open Source Initiative definition (defined here), including definitions for Free distribution, source code, derived works, integrity of source code, licensing and no tolerance for discrimination Distributes images under an OSI approved open source license
Review and Approval
The process for applying for Open Source status is summarized below -
The Publisher submits the Open Source Community Application form. Docker reviews the form, and determines if the Publisher qualifies for open source status. If Docker approves the Publisher’s application, Docker will waive the pull rate policy for the Publisher’s namespace, for a period of one year Every 12 months, Docker will review the Publisher’s namespace, to verify that the Publisher continues to qualify with the Docker Open Source Program criteria, and will extend the Open Source Program status for another 12 months. Docker may, at its discretion, also review eligibility criteria within the 12-months period, and, depending on the changes of Publisher’s compliance with program criteria, revise the Publisher’s Open Source Program status The Publisher may have other namespaces, that either partially comply or do not comply with open source policy requirements, and therefore, will not qualify for open source status
Joint Marketing Programs
While the Publisher retains the Open Source project status, the Publisher agrees to -
Become a Docker public reference for press releases, blogs, webinars, etc Create joint blogs, webinars and other marketing content Create explicit links to their Docker Hub repos, with no ‘wrapping’ or hiding sources of their images Include information about Docker on the website and in documentation
Please let me know if you have any questions on anything in this letter.
Please reply to this email if your open source project complies with the above criteria, and you would like to move forward with the review and approval of your Open Source Program.
Thank you for all your support for Docker and the Docker community.
Many thanks
