Docker recently introduced the Moby project, which Docker is now based on, and which is free software (Apache 2.0). But the instructions to install Docker CE don't mention Moby at all, and they don't mention free or open source software. The terms and conditions linked to from that page look proprietary, and only make generic references to open source software.So, if I followed the instructions to install Docker CE, would I be installing fully free software?
Is Docker still free and open source?

Docker Community Editions are products from Docker built on- and assembled from open source components. Some Docker Community Editions are based solely on open source projects (like Docker for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and other open Linux distributions). Some Docker Community Editions incorporate components that are not open source.We try to let the openness of the underlying infrastructure guide the openness of the corresponding Docker Edition. Docker Editions for open, community-oriented Linux distros are also fully open, while Docker for Mac and Windows (for example) may incorporate some non open source components.The Moby-related changes are still in progress, so stay tuned for more.
