Docker hasn't been based on LXC since 0.9 by now. It uses its own libcontainer.

Which to my knowledge ist still linux-only, so while it's good to be technically correct, it doesn't change my point.

That much is correct, it's still tied to namespaces, cgroups and the standard mechanisms for implementing jailing on Linux. The point is it stands at a layer of abstraction designed for easier portability than outright depending on LXC.
