vbox developers and users,<br><br>i would like to get the proprietary parts, especially the VirtualBox <br>Extension Pack, open source. most of VirtualBox is already open source, <br>which is a good thing in several regards:<br>- quality of distro integration and<br>- debugging<br><br>getting basic OSE virtualbox support is straight forward and better than <br>any other solution i tried (i'm on linux, i tried vmware/libvirt) for <br>desktop virtualization.<br><br>in contrast to OSE virtualbox, installing VBox extension pack is a PITA:<br>- <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://nixos.org/wiki/Installing_VirtualBox_on_NixOS">http://nixos.org/wiki/Installing_VirtualBox_on_NixOS</a><br>- <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://forums-web2.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-717099-start-0.html">http://forums-web2.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-717099-start-0.html</a><br>- <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank"

finance the 'oracle USB 2.0 codebase' GPL release via
