Is this an official Docker project? How is this not trademark infringement?

It doesn't seem to be associated with Docker Inc.

Docker's trademark guidelines say that products, services and technology that are not their own shouldn't use the Docker name so it seems it's a matter of time before they get a nice letter from some lawyer.

I'm not cheering for that, but I also think impersonation is dishonest.

The product is a loose partner of Docker. They are an official Docker Desktop Extension. DockerSlim is an open source tool that led to the creation of Slim.Ai (and now Slim.AI and therefore Docker Slim) are loose partners.

What's a "loose" partner?

Does Docker Inc promise to overlook trademark infringements if you're a "loose" partner?

docker-slim started at docker hackathon in 2015 and company behind Slim.AI has an extension for docker desktop in its marketplace.
