I don't see this in the FAQ: the magic that makes all of this happen (which you're integrating) is technology built by other developers. Why should we be supporting you to do this work rather than the other developers who broke ground and already did a majority of the heavy lifting?

Docker was a big piece of the puzzle. I worked with DotCloud to make Docker happen and we're involved in that community quite heavily. There's still a lot more work to do, otherwise we would not be bothering with a campaign like this.

Not to discount your work, but the way I see it: the kernel (e.g. cgroups, namespaces) and the corresponding lxc work dwarfs anything docker brought to the table. This project smells like a campaign to get a product funded.

Considering LXC support will soon be a module to Docker and not core, I'm not sure you understand what value Docker adds. Just as there is value added all the way up the stack.

Regarding the product funding remark, that's not the intention, though with the license anybody could build a product with this project. I'm not convinced that's a bad thing.
