I don't think I recognize that name.
Best would be to read from here: https://www.docker.com/what-docker "Docker containers wrap up a piece of software in a complete filesystem that contains everything it needs to run: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries – anything you can install on a server. This guarantees that it will always run the same, regardless of the environment it is running in. " And see this picture: https://www.docker.com/sites/default/files/products/what_is_layered_filesystems_sm.png In regards to the GPL, docker is, in my opinion, executable or object form. And I am sure that people who prepare containers for conveying it to others do not take seriously the obligation to provide the source code or to copy the corresponding GPL licenses and other licenses along with the object/executables provided.
