I would definitely buy OrbStack if it become non free.
the only thing that i'm afraid of is this:
- i work in an enterprise company, and they don't want to pay for docker. as a software engineer i want to be able to buy OrbStack pro license with my own money and be able to use it both in company or my personal environment. is it possible? or your future licensing plan would prevent me to use it in professional environment and only allow me to use it in personal environment?
Your answer is still vague.
So suppose we have this 3 hypothetical plans:
- Professional : XXX $ - Business YYY $ - Enterprise ZZZ $
which XXX << YYY << ZZZ
I'll repeat my scenario:
- I'm a Backend Developer
- I don't have any share in the company.
- I don't have any management position in the company.
- I'm not forcing any one in the company to use OrbStack to progress my mission in the company.
- I'm solely using it inside own device provided by the company. i don't have it installed in my colleagues devices.
- this company device is only in my own control and is not shared with anybody else in the company.
- this company device is not used in any automation CI/CD pipeline in the company.
- I'm willing to use it as a docker GUI for the docker images hosted in companies account in Google cloud.
- I'm also sometimes/occasionally, willing to use it in my personal toy projects using the same company laptop in my spare time using the same instance of OrbStack license.
based on these are you implying that i'm not allowed to use `professional` license and i need to use `business` license?
Or you are telling that it's okey for me to use my personal `professional` license in this scenarios?
