I'm I using the PUEL version?

Dear Forum,
I think I'm using the PUEL version rather than open source. I can't find any reference in help>about or the user guide to let me know. I downloaded and installed using the
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian jaunty non-free source in Ubuntu 9.04. I assume the non-free refers to the PUEL.
How do I check which version / license I'm using?

Hello Rich.
I came across this, if it helps....
Guest Additions are also known as GA.
CLI Command Line Interface.
OSE VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE).
PUEL VirtualBox Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL)

And don't skip the
VirtualBox FAQ either. You're running the PUEL version, that's one thing that's sure. If you weren't, it would show with dpkg -l as you listed. The OSE package is called virtualbox-ose, the PUEL ones just plain virtualbox. You can check it too using the VM settings, if you have USB, it's the PUEL.
