    r1 r4120  
     1The majority of code in VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE) is 
     2copyrighted by innotek GmbH. This code is combined with third-party code 
     3that was originally released under the Apache License 2.0, the OpenSSL 
     4license, the Mozilla Public License (MPL) and the Slirp license, all of 
     5which the Free Software Foundation considers to be incompatible with the 
     6GPL, as well as the X11, zlib, liblzf and LGPL licenses. As a special 
     7exception to the terms and conditions of the GPL listed below, innotek 
     8gives you explicit permission to combine its GPL code contained in 
     9VirtualBox OSE with third-party code under the aforementioned licenses. 
     10You may copy and distribute such a combination provided that you adhere 
     11to the terms and conditions of all of the GPL and the licenses of the 
     12third-party code; in particular, you must include the source code of 
     13the entire combination insofar as the GPL requires distribution of 
     14source code. 
     15 
     16Note that whoever creates or distributes a derived work based on 
     17VirtualBox OSE is not obligated to grant this special exception for such 
     18a version. The GPL allows for releasing a modified version without the 
     19above exception; innotek also allows you to release a modified version 
     20which carries forward this exception.
