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: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Licensing_FAQ Apparently the VirtualBox extension pack is proprietary software. Andrew.
