I see now that I was unclear: A Docker image is a self-contained tarball containing a GNU/Linux kernel, necessary system software, and the final Emacs executable that was built by the image recipe. The Docker image contents, thus, can be entirely free software. Executing the image on some platforms (such as Windows) may use proprietary software to perform the execution (for example, VM provisioning software). -- John Wiegley GPG fingerprint = 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2
