  !InnoTek offers !VirtualBox free of charge to anyone who finds it useful. The only restrictions we impose are those of either the GPL or our respective commercial licenses -- whichever you choose. This also means that we will not restrict your use of the product by means of patents. However, should someone attempt to abuse the product, e.g. by violating the GPL or our commercial license, we will make use of our intellectual property rights to protect !VirtualBox. 
 
+ 10. '''Can I redistribute the VirtualBox binaries?'''
+
+ No. The [wiki:"VirtualBox PUEL" Personal Use and Evaluation License] allows you to download the !VirtualBox binaries for personal and academic use and for evaluation, but it does not give you the right to redistribute these binaries. So you may not put them onto your own websites or other mirrors. We do this because we would presently like to keep track of how many people are downloading these binaries. The fact that we also provide a !BitTorrent tracker does not change this policy.
+
+ This restriction does not, of course, apply to the Open Source Edition (OSE), as the GPL does permit redistribution of source and binaries, provided that you adhere to the other terms and conditions of the GPL.
