Preliminary notes:

1) The majority of code in the VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE) is
copyrighted by Oracle Corporation. This code is combined with third-party code
that was originally released under licenses which the Free Software Foundation
considers incompatible with the GPL, such as the Apache License 2.0, the OpenSSL
license, the Mozilla Public License (MPL) and the Slirplicense. (Please see the
VirtualBox User Manual for a complete list of third-party code and their
licenses.) As a special exception to the terms and conditions of the GPL listed
below, Oracle gives you explicit permission to combine its GPL code contained in
VirtualBox OSE with third-party code under the aforementioned licenses. You may
copy and distribute such a combination provided that you adhereto the terms and
conditions of all of the GPL and the licenses of the third-party code; in
particular, you must include the source code of the entire combination insofar
as the GPL requires distribution of source code.

2) The GPL listed below does not bind software which uses VirtualBox services by
merely linking to VirtualBox libraries so long as all VirtualBox interfaces used
by thatsoftware are multi-licensed. A VirtualBox interface is deemed
multi-licensed if it is declared in a VirtualBox header file that is licensed
under both the GPL version 2 (below) *and* the Common Development and
Distribution License Version 1.0 (CDDL), as it comes in the "COPYING.CDDL" file.
In other words, calling such a multi-licensed interface is merely considered
normal use of VirtualBox anddoes not turn the calling code into a derived work
of VirtualBox. In particular, this applies to code that wants to extend
VirtualBox by way of the Extension Pack mechanism declared in the ExtPack.h
header file.

3) Whoever creates or distributes a derived work based on VirtualBox OSE is not
obligated to grant the above exceptions for such a version. The GPL allows for
releasing a modifiedversion without the above exception; in addition, Oracle
hereby also allows you to release a modified version which carries forward these
exceptions.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom toshare and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.

When wespeak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
in new free programs; and that you know you can do thesethings.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the...
