  * `src/libs/` contains various libraries in specific versions that we depend on. We can't very well ask our customers to descend into dependency hell and therefore statically compile these into the !VirtualBox binary. The various licenses under which these libraries were shipped are all documented in the appendices of the [wiki:"Downloads" user manual].
