virtualbox-ose is a virtual package for virtualbox. Yes, I believe
VirtualBox is now entirely free software, although I haven't done any
real checking of this (besides reading on the VB website).

You can read the FAQ on their website:

Apparently the VirtualBox extension pack is proprietary software.
