- Most frequently asked questions.
- --------------------------------
- **1. How much does Docker cost?**
- Docker is 100% free, it is open source, so you can use it without paying.
- **2. What open source license are you using?**
- We are using the Apache License Version 2.0, see it here: https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/blob/master/LICENSE
- **3. Does Docker run on Mac OS X or Windows?**
- Not at this time, Docker currently only runs on Linux, but you can use VirtualBox to run Docker in a virtual machine on your box, and get the best of both worlds. Check out the MacOSX_ and Windows_ intallation guides.
- **4. How do containers compare to virtual machines?**
- They are complementary. VMs are best used to allocate chunks of hardware resources. Containers operate at the process level, which makes them very lightweight and perfect as a unit of software delivery.
- **5. Can I help by adding some questions and answers?**
- Definitely! You can fork `the repo`_ and edit the documentation sources.
