Can you provide some evidence to support that claim? According to the vmlite page
http://www.vmlite.com/index.php/products/vmlite-workstation/overview "VMLite Workstation is based on the popular open source project, VirtualBox OSE" OSE, not PUEL or PRO. Did you find any license information on the vmlite site or other information that sheds light on what is up with vmlite?
