Because VirtualBox team wanna option to sub-license the whole product on proprietary terms. (future possibility to create proprietary fork, if company wants). Such options exists with other multi-license software, such as Qt and OpenOffice. This is why product is GPL, but patches are accepted only on MIT terms. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
