Oracle does not provide source packages for the official VirtualBox packages at www.virtualbox.org and the Oracle website. The source tarball is available for the public on the download page (under terms and conditions of the GPL). Providing source packages for every binary package would increase our workload and would mean more required server bandwidth keeping in mind that we release quite often. The major Linux distributions have integrated VirtualBox into their repositories and you will surely find their source package. Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing.
