In the [community] repo there are the following packages in addition to

virtualbox-additions 4.0.0-1 (any)
virtualbox-guest-additions 4.0.0-2 (i686 and x86_64)
virtualbox-guest-modules 4.0.0-2 (i686 and x86_64)
In ABS there's only virtualbox-additions.
What is what package? And is virtualbox-additions a duplicate of
virtualbox-guest-additions? If yes, it would be nice, if this could be
removed from [community] without moving it to AUR.
virtualbox-additions is the iso to install guest additions inside the
virtual machine (win or any linux), virtualbox-guest-additions is to
install the additions inside an Arch guest.
And it would be nice if virtualbox-ext-oracle
(http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44761) would be moved to
[community], too, so that virtualbox is completely in [community] with
all its features.
Isn't there licensing issues with these? Or have those been resolved by
Oracle?
the whole point of splitting the usb 2.0 support was to have a gpl
binary. If using their method to install that, the user have to agree to
a license agreement
