Guest Additions and license question

Post by trgvc »

Hello, is the Guest Additions part of the GPL version 2 license or is that just for personal/evaluation? Sorry for the question, I was trying to search but no luck. Thanks.

I don't know the answer to your specific question, but don't be scared off by the Personal / Evaluation thing. This FAQ on licensing for Virtualbox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Licensing_FAQ point 6, says it's OK to personally install it multiple times even in businesses for business purposes, just can't deploy it as part of a startup script Group Policy thing to hundreds of PCs.
