I got my management to agree that it’s worth the $5 a month for everyone’s productivity.

Hopefully Podman fixes their volume mounting problems and we can just start using that eventually.

Ah man, that must be a magical place. I spent months (on-and-off) trying to convince my company to do this and failed. I hope they figure it out, because while I worked around it for my needs, I can't imagine I'm the only person who used Docker Desktop at the company, and it genuinely worries me that while IT considers it unapproved software that it won't stop its usage.

Which management books did you cite to back you up?

The wrong ones apparently :) I did attempt to explain that the cost for each dev to figure out an alternative setup would exceed the cost of the license itself, and of course pointed out the possible risk of not taking action if somebody continues to use Docker Desktop unintentionally violating the new license terms.
