Source: virtualbox-guest-additions-iso Version: Upstream changes regarding licensing might affect users of this package Severity: important Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer, I just discovered an article on The Register [1] warning about recent changes to the license of software downloaded from the Virtualbox website: The Oracle VirtualBox PUEL does not provide for trial use of the Oracle VirtualBox Extension Pack software for evaluation purposes any more[2]. Please check whether virtualbox-guest-additions-iso can still be part of even non-free with this change. The minimal change required to this package should be a warning displayed to the user every time they attempt downloading the extension pack, IMHO.
