I see, just a terminology thing: image refers to the binary blob Docker Hub
stores for download, in the Flink repo is a Dockerfile for generating that
image. :)
This is mainly to follow suit with the other Apache projects I have found
with official images; they all tend to host their Dockerfiles totally
separately. Needless to say, the repo will be wholly licensed under the Apache
license, just not maintained under the ASF.
And we're definitely committed to maintaining these official images going
forward, updating them as a part of the Flink release process. If they need an
individual maintainer point of contact, that can be me and I can hand it off
later if I have to.
