Openshift is open source, Docker EE is not. Big difference.

As InTheArena says, both Docker EE and Openshift have Open source cores and then supply commercial support and additions to suppplement them.

It's a pretty common model amongst these companies, and hey they've got to make money somehow :)

Everything in openshift is open source at https://github.com/openshift/origin. The commercial version is long term support, security response and errata, and the stability around that. There's nothing that is withheld from the open source project. It is not open core.

Edit: I forgot, the logo is not open source. So the logo is withheld :)

Openshift is just like Docker here. both will support Kubernetes in the openshift edition, both charge commercial support..

I'd like to see a price comparison between Docker EE and openshift, because Openshift aint cheap.

Except it isn't, because things in Docker EE aren't open source (case in point, docker datacenter), where as all of openshift is opensource.

Your fallacy is comparing a product that is open core, with a product that is commercial open source.
