As Thomas said, the bulk of VirtualBox is actually GPLv2 now as of version 4 I think. The licensing may be acceptable for Fedora with that version or newer. However, VirtualBox requires out-of-tree kernel modules, which aren't allowed in Fedora and we aren't going to ship those. Packaging or testing this isn't something the WG is going to work on. josh -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
