It looks like they want to rename the OSS version, to differentiate it from their commercial version.
They're using the analogy of Fedora->RHEL.
Moby = open source development Docker CE = free product release based on Moby Docker EE = commercial product release based on Docker CE.

Should I understand that the core team wants to keep the brand "Docker" but use it in a commercial way, while Moby will be the underlying open source code?
Is it Docker/Moby = RHEL/Fedora ? or Docker/Moby = Mongodb.com/Mongodb.org?

#8Indeed, it seems that github.com/docker/docker now redirects to this. From a technological perspective it's irrelevant, but from a brand management perspective it's baffling. Did they perceive the Docker brand as tainted in some way?

Why doesn't the open-source predecessor have precedence?

#10I have no idea why they'd want to change such a great name. I am very disappointed.
