= !VirtualBox Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL) = This license applies if you download the full !VirtualBox binaries from the [wiki:"Downloads"] page. It does not apply to the !VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE), which falls under the [wiki:"GPL"] instead; see [wiki:"Editions"] for details about the differences between these releases. In summary, the !VirtualBox PUEL allows you to use !VirtualBox free of charge * for personal use or, alternatively, * use for product evaluation. If you do not belong to either category -- that is, if you want to use !VirtualBox for business use beyond a reasonable evaluation period --, you will have to purchase a commercial license. Do not hesitate to contact InnoTek in this matter.
