It's GPL2 FLOSS so you can use it without other limitation. You have full access to the code and therefore if you are heavy coder modify it as you will.

The PUEL edition is build on and extents the OSE version to add richer functionality, but is subject to the limitations of the licence as discussed on the VBox wiki.
