Re: [Trisquel-users] VirtualBox Guest Additions license

[chris]

The new version has three pieces I belive. One is the main emualtor, two is  
an extension to add features and this is under a non-free license, three is  
an extension that may or may not be free depending on where you get it from.  
I believe that third extension is available from the repository under a free  
software license.

I don't know exactly what determines if a program is reccomending non-free  
software. Mentioning, linking to, etc is reccomending though based on my  
communications with those more familiar with these issues (RMS, FSF,  
Trisquel, etc). That said I don't know what happens when a program links to a  
web site that reccomends a non-free component and that component is also  
available under a free software license (which may be the case here).
