I mean yeah okay fine the phrase is then "according to your understanding of the rules set forth by Docker, as of today's edit of the linked PDF (2023-03-15), and in accordance with the current (2023-03-15) configuration of the three images, `alpine`, `node`, and `golang`; are those three images covered by the open source program and will continue to be accessible or will those images cease to be accessible by non-paying members of the general public in thirty (30) days?"

It's just that I'd thought we'd moved past the need for that level of pedantry here, but apparently not.

That's probably a good thing, because that makes clear you missed the point about the Docker Official Images program. Docker's support for open-source organizations has nothing to do with the Official Images program; they are generated by Docker themselves, rather than being generated by an open source project and merely hosted by Docker.

I may sound pedantic, but in all honesty, Docker has been quite hostile over the past few years in terms of monetizing / saving costs, so nothing would surprise me at this point. I would definitely not feel comfortable saying "for certain". Phrased differently, if the person who is in control says "for certain", vs. some random HN user, I would attach a lot more value to the statement made by the personal in control.

There's no need to post a combative reply. The parent is just pointing out the dictionary meaning of 'certain'.

You could instead set the bar at a 'high likelihood' instead of 'certain'.
