Open Source VirtualBox and other editions

After several years of intense development, in November 2006, VirtualBox was released as Open Source. InnoTek has chosen to release its VirtualBox source code under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

If you are interested in using VirtualBox -- either for private or business use --, you have the choice between two versions:

• The full VirtualBox package is available in binary (executable) form free of charge on the Downloads page. This version is free for personal use and evaluation.

If, instead, you wish to purchase licenses for enterprise use and/or enterprise support for VirtualBox, please do not hesitate to contact InnoTek.

• The VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE) is the one that has been released under the GPL and comes with complete source code. It is functionally equivalent to the full VirtualBox package, except for a few features targeting mostly enterprise customers to give us the chance to generate revenue to fund the development of VirtualBox.

VirtualBox OSE is also available on the Downloads page.
