Dear NGinx Community User,

I am building my Angular app where inside my dockerfile I am using Nginx ba=
se image for publishing the content:
E.g. FROM nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged:1.16-alpine or FROM nginx:alpine

Everything works fine so far, but here is a list of my questions:

  *   My understanding is that it is legal for me (my company) to use the a=
bove NGinx open-source image as base for building my commercial application=
?
  *   In what circumstances should I consider going for a commercial (licen=
sed) paid version of Nginx base image? Let me elaborate a bit on this point=
: I am not an Nginx expert and I am not sure what additional benefit I can =
get out of buying a commercial version of Nginx base image. If my applicati=
on's front-end (hosted inside Nginx) works fine and the base image (open-so=
urce) fulfills my application's requirement, what additional benefit can I =
get by going with the commercial one?
  *   Is the only reason in my case then that I can get an official support=
/SLA from Nginx if I go for their commercial Nginx base image offering? How=
 often one could require an official support from Nginx for their Angular a=
pplication hosted inside Nginx? I know it's a bit vague question, but I am =
just looking for some general trend.
  *   What is generally a common industry trend when it comes to hosting a =
standard Angular 7 app inside Nginx: Is it common that companies opt for an=
 open-source one over a commercial Ngixn base image or vice versa?
  *   What else could be a general criteria for accessing a risk that is wh=
ether to go for an open-source one or a commercial Nginx base image?
  *   Any other tip?

Thanks.
