there's absolutely wrong statement regarding Solaris's zones and FreeBSD's jail in LXC doc:

[Igor Podlesny]

"... Containers are a lightweight virtualization technology. They are
more akin to an enhanced chroot than to full virtualization like Qemu
or VMware, both because they do not emulate hardware and because
containers share the same operating system as the host. Therefore
containers are better compared to Solaris zones or BSD jails. ..." --

Essentialy both the "zones" and the "jails" are lightweight
virtualization technology, so actually they're very similar to
"containers".

I dunno who wrote that ignorant statement in the doc, but it needs to
be fixed if you want your docs to be considered as accurate source of
knowledge.
