I think he's asking about the confusion arising from the fact that the
open-source components of the commercial software known as Docker were renamed
to Moby.

I don't know much about the MacPorts docker port, but I can only assume that we
have always provided the open-source components. When they were called
"docker", we provided that; now that they are called "moby", we provide that.

I do not know what the differences are between the open-source software now
known as Moby and the commercial software offered by docker.com. You'll have to
ask them or Google.
