VirtualBox is dual licensed, so customers can choose which license they want. VMlite, which is also a customer, can choose the proprietary VBox license, and keep sources closed. Same trick works for Qt library. Skype and Google Earth are based on it, but both are closed source projects. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
