#2Since they've buried it a little:
"Specifically, small businesses (fewer than 250 employees AND less than $10 million in revenue) may continue to use Docker Desktop with Docker Personal for free. The use of Docker Desktop in large businesses, however, requires a Pro, Team, or Business paid subscription, starting at $5 per user per month."

#4What a strange sentence.. As if "Docker" is some third party. They're referring to themselves in the 3rd person.
Be warned

#5Note that Docker Desktop and Docker Engine are separate products. Docker Desktop is the desktop application package that makes Docker user-friendly on macOS and Windows. Docker Engine, the container runtime itself, remains free:

If you develop on Linux, no changes are needed.

If you're doing $10M in ARR, how much engineering time are you going to spend to switch compared to paying Docker a few thousand dollars a month? Your spend on cloud and Slack (or other comms) is likely far higher. You're probably spending more on mobile/cell business service.
"Docker attempting to monetize users of its product who can easily afford the cost." I mean, the terms seems reasonable, and wouldn't you rather support Docker vs IBM (Redhat->Podman)?
Nothing changes for users who aren't making money using Docker, but I suppose you could still spend your time switching to podman on principal.

(CTO of Docker here) there is a grace period until 31 January next year, we understand that this is a change and people need time to sort out payment.
