Dear Stefano,
I am not sure what you mean by "last point", anyhow no reply so far by
Aurelien.

I am sure that FIWARE Foundation is eligible for the Open Source programme,
and that may be a way to go (see option 1).

In general, the limitations introduced may cause different problems, but
the one I think that is i see more impacting to FIWARE is that for GEs
hosted on single organisations (e.g. Martel, UPM, ect) docker hub
repository the following limitations apply:

- 100 pulls for not registered users
- 200 pulls for registered users

So beyond 100 daily pull from a repository (if unregistered as in most of
the cases when just using containers), people will get an error... Think
for example if we organize a hackathon: the treshould will be reached in
seconds :/

Cheers,
