Please have a personal license that allows commercial use by the licensee, often it's hard to convince your company to get something just for you and I'm happy to pay for a tool I already use so I don't have to context switch. (I did so for Obsidian and Berkeley Mono).

To add to this I have purchased my own Jetbrains All Products subscription for many years now for exactly this reason. I bring my tools with me, I want to use them on commercial products I develop for companies I work for and I don't want the hassle of them trying to license software for me.

This is the status quo for Java tools at the very least, i.e IDEA, YourKit, etc.

Yes, you'll be able to purchase the commercial+business use license yourself. It won't be limited to companies.

Subject to change before launch, but initial plans are $8/user/mo: https://twitter.com/OrbStack/status/1656326409995055104

$100 a year seems pretty steep for a tool like this; to compare, that is also the price for Parallels Desktop.

Docker Desktop: $84-132/yr

Parallels Desktop Pro (no resource limitations): $120/yr

OrbStack: $96/yr

Seems very reasonable, especially for a tool that does most of what Docker Desktop and Parallels do combined (but better in most cases), and it'll only improve over time.

Except Parallels also gives you an entire desktop experience, including the maybe best Windows on ARM experience in existence (thanks to Qualcomm). That is a lot of utility. OrbStack just feels like an upgrade to (co)lima on the other hand that I'd get for the added comfort, nice GUI and marginal performance uplift (though props for having cgroupv2 dockerd). But not because it actually provides capabilities that I can't get elsewhere, from sources where I don't have to consider licensing and building my scripts on top of something someone might not be able to use.

And I'm not sure the comparison with Docker Desktop is warranted. They're basically doing continuity extortion.
