that has been my priority all along, to catalog the possible solutions - there
are not so many options for any of these

all of the possible solutions are in the table in the OP, categorized by
intrusiveness, maintainability, usability, and libre-effectiveness -
whatever is "ideal" for each example, is going to be a compromise of one of
other of those properties

the solution chosen for docker is not ideal because it sacrifices
"libre-effectiveness" - because dicker, like most of these, do not expose
licensing meta-data to the client, the only way to achieve 100%
libre-effectiveness for those, is either to reject them entirely (very easy),
or to host curated repos (very demanding)
