Besides that, let's not forget about virtualbox ose, which is under the GPL. As I recall being pointed out somewhere (on virtualbox.org, or in the manual, can't remember where), and correctly so, even if the PUEL version goes away, the ose version can't, and won't go away, up to the point that it stops being maintained. If/when that happens, there's nothing stopping anyone from continuing to maintain the gpl version of virtualbox. If attempts were made to restrict the usage/maintenance of the gpl version in some way, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the FSF challenge such a turn of events. So, in the worst case scenario, the OSE version will still be there, even if the PUEL version goes away, I won't speculate on if that will happen, or not.
