podman has no revenue model, it is an open source project managed by https://github.com/containers

So without a revenue model, how would they pay someone to maintain it if the current maintainer[s] need to focus on family or paying their mortgage?

[JeremyNT]

It's from RedHat/IBM. They can give this stuff away to developers because they just want to sell OpenShift to deep pocketed Enterprise customers. And really podman is strategically a defensive move so their Enterprise offerings aren't stuck depending on Docker Inc.

Contrast with Docker, whose business is explicitly focused on "developer tools."

When I last looked into it, I came away with the feeling that github.com/containers is pretty much RedHat without any official backing.
