Is "Moby" (as a software name) also the successor of (the daemon side of) Docker Engine?

Moby is the name of the whole project, which includes the moby github org, and other projects (linuxkit etc) that have their own orgs - everything mentioned on mobyproject.org. But I am also using it as a name for this repo, the Moby Project central repo, which is an integration point for a lot of pieces, including the current daemon. The actual binary naming is discussed in #34226

@AkihiroSuda But to clearly answer you: no, moby ≠ engine, but moby > engine.

I think this sentence is still good to keep

It is still correct, but I really wanted to not begin with something about Docker, I wanted the project to stand on its own. I think for anyone reading this it should be clear enough.

| It provides a “Lego set” of dozens of components, the framework for assembling them into custom container-based systems, and a place for all container enthusiasts to experiment and exchange ideas. |

I liked the concept of "lego set" 😢

@thaJeztah wasnt sure if we should be using trademarks like that... but it still is!

Yes, I do like it, but wasn't sure if we were allowed to use it (without mentioning trademarks in a footnote 😅)

Apparently there will be Lego at DockerCon EU though!

I think this sentence falls pretty clearly under "fair use". I propose we re-open a PR to bring it back.
