    29 <p class="p1">General Public License applies to most of the Free Software</p>

    35 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not</p>

    39 <p class="p1">if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it</p>

    46 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    47 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether</p>

    52 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    53 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and</p>

    56 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    57 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain</p>

    76 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains</p>
    77 <p class="p1">a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed</p>

    79 <p class="p1">refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"</p>

    81 <p class="p1">that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,</p>
    82 <p class="p1">either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another</p>
    83 <p class="p1">language.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in</p>
    84 <p class="p1">the term "modification".)<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Each licensee is addressed as "you".</p>
    85 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    86 <p class="p1">Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not</p>
    87 <p class="p1">covered by this License; they are outside its scope.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The act of</p>
    88 <p class="p1">running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program</p>
    89 <p class="p1">is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the</p>
    90 <p class="p1">Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).</p>
    91 <p class="p1">Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.</p>

    93 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's</p>

    95 <p class="p1">conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate</p>
    96 <p class="p1">copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the</p>
    97 <p class="p1">notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;</p>
    98 <p class="p1">and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License</p>

    100 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    101 <p class="p1">You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and</p>

    104 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion</p>

    106 <p class="p1">distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1</p>
    107 <p class="p1">above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:</p>
    108 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    109 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices</p>
    110 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.</p>
    111 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    112 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in</p>

    114 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third</p>
    115 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>parties under the terms of this License.</p>
    116 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    117 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively</p>
    118 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>when run, you must cause it, when started running for such</p>
    119 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an</p>
    120 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a</p>
    121 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide</p>
    122 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under</p>
    123 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this</p>
    124 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>License.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>(Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but</p>

    127 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    128 <p class="p1">These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>If</p>
    129 <p class="p1">identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,</p>
    130 <p class="p1">and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in</p>
    131 <p class="p1">themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those</p>
    132 <p class="p1">sections when you distribute them as separate works.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>But when you</p>
    133 <p class="p1">distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based</p>
    134 <p class="p1">on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of</p>
    135 <p class="p1">this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the</p>
    136 <p class="p1">entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.</p>
    137 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    138 <p class="p1">Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest</p>
    139 <p class="p1">your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to</p>
    140 <p class="p1">exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or</p>
    141 <p class="p1">collective works based on the Program.</p>
    142 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    143 <p class="p1">In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program</p>
    144 <p class="p1">with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of</p>
    145 <p class="p1">a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under</p>

    147 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    148 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,</p>
    149 <p class="p1">under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of</p>
    150 <p class="p1">Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:</p>

    154 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,</p>
    155 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    156 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three</p>

    159 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be</p>
    160 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium</p>
    161 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>customarily used for software interchange; or,</p>
    162 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    163 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer</p>
    164 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>to distribute corresponding source code.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>(This alternative is</p>
    165 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you</p>
    166 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>received the program in object code or executable form with such</p>
    167 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)</p>
    168 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    169 <p class="p1">The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for</p>
    170 <p class="p1">making modifications to it.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>For an executable work, complete source</p>

    173 <p class="p1">control compilation and installation of the executable.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>However, as a</p>
    174 <p class="p1">special exception, the source code distributed need not include</p>
    175 <p class="p1">anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary</p>
    176 <p class="p1">form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the</p>
    177 <p class="p1">operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component</p>
    178 <p class="p1">itself accompanies the executable.</p>
    179 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    180 <p class="p1">If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering</p>
    181 <p class="p1">access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent</p>
    182 <p class="p1">access to copy the source code from the same place counts as</p>
    183 <p class="p1">distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not</p>
    184 <p class="p1">compelled to copy the source along with the object code.</p>
    185 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    186 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program</p>

    188 <p class="p1">otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is</p>
    189 <p class="p1">void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.</p>
    190 <p class="p1">However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under</p>

    193 <p class="p2"><br></p>
    194 <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not</p>
    195 <p class="p1">signed it.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or</p>
    196 <p class="p1">distribute the Program or its derivative works.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>These actions are</p>

    221 <p class="p1">the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to</p>

     12<body>Preliminary notes:<br>
     13<br>
     141) The majority of code in the VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE) is<br>
     15copyrighted by Oracle Corporation. This code is combined with third-party code<br>
     16that was originally released under licenses which the Free Software Foundation<br>
     17considers incompatible with the GPL, such as the Apache License 2.0, the OpenSSL<br>
     18license, the Mozilla Public License (MPL) and the Slirp license. (Please see the<br>
     19VirtualBox User Manual for a complete list of third-party code and their<br>
     20licenses.) As a special exception to the terms and conditions of the GPL listed<br>
     21below, Oracle gives you explicit permission to combine its GPL code contained in<br>
     22VirtualBox OSE with third-party code under the aforementioned licenses. You may<br>
     23copy and distribute such a combination provided that you adhere to the terms and<br>
     24conditions of all of the GPL and the licenses of the third-party code; in<br>
     25particular, you must include the source code of the entire combination insofar<br>
     26as the GPL requires distribution of source code.<br>
     27<br>
     282) The GPL listed below does not bind software which uses VirtualBox services by<br>
     29merely linking to VirtualBox libraries so long as all VirtualBox interfaces used<br>
     30by that software are multi-licensed. A VirtualBox interface is deemed<br>
     31multi-licensed if it is declared in a VirtualBox header file that is licensed<br>
     32under both the GPL version 2 (below) *and* the Common Development and<br>
     33Distribution License Version 1.0 (CDDL), as it comes in the &quot;COPYING.CDDL&quot; file.<br>
     34In other words, calling such a multi-licensed interface is merely considered<br>
     35normal use of VirtualBox and does not turn the calling code into a derived work<br>
     36of VirtualBox. In particular, this applies to code that wants to extend<br>
     37VirtualBox by way of the Extension Pack mechanism declared in the ExtPack.h<br>
     38header file.<br>
     39<br>
     403) Whoever creates or distributes a derived work based on VirtualBox OSE is not<br>
     41obligated to grant the above exceptions for such a version. The GPL allows for<br>
     42releasing a modified version without the above exception; in addition, Oracle<br>
     43hereby also allows you to release a modified version which carries forward these<br>
     44exceptions.<br>

     50 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE<br>
     51 Version 2, June 1991<br>
     52<br>
     53 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,<br>
     54 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA<br>
     55 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies<br>
     56 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.<br>
     57<br>
     58 Preamble<br>
     59<br>
     60 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your<br>
     61freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public<br>
     62License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free<br>
     63software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This<br>
     64General Public License applies to most of the Free Software<br>
     65Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to<br>
     66using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by<br>
     67the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to<br>
     68your programs, too.<br>
     69<br>
     70 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not<br>
     71price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you<br>
     72have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for<br>
     73this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it<br>
     74if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it<br>
     75in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.<br>
     76<br>
     77 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid<br>
     78anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.<br>
     79These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you<br>
     80distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.<br>
     81<br>
     82 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether<br>
     83gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that<br>
     84you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the<br>
     85source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their<br>
     86rights.<br>
     87<br>
     88 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and<br>
     89(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,<br>
     90distribute and/or modify the software.<br>
     91<br>
     92 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain<br>
     93that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free<br>
     94software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we<br>
     95want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so<br>
     96that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original<br>
     97authors' reputations.<br>
     98<br>
     99 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software<br>
     100patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free<br>
     101program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the<br>
     102program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any<br>
     103patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.<br>
     104<br>
     105 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and<br>
     106modification follow.<br>
     107<br>
     108 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE<br>
     109 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION<br>
     110<br>
     111 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains<br>
     112a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed<br>
     113under the terms of this General Public License. The &quot;Program&quot;, below,<br>
     114refers to any such program or work, and a &quot;work based on the Program&quot;<br>
     115means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:<br>
     116that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,<br>
     117either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another<br>
     118language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in<br>
     119the term &quot;modification&quot;.) Each licensee is addressed as &quot;you&quot;.<br>
     120<br>
     121Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not<br>
     122covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of<br>
     123running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program<br>
     124is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the<br>
     125Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).<br>
     126Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.<br>
     127<br>
     128 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's<br>
     129source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you<br>
     130conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate<br>
     131copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the<br>
     132notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;<br>
     133and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License<br>
     134along with the Program.<br>
     135<br>
     136You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and<br>
     137you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.<br>
     138<br>
     139 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion<br>
     140of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and<br>
     141distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1<br>
     142above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:<br>
     143<br>
     144 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices<br>
     145 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.<br>
     146<br>
     147 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in<br>
     148 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any<br>
     149 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third<br>
     150 parties under the terms of this License.<br>
     151<br>
     152 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively<br>
     153 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such<br>
     154 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an<br>
     155 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a<br>
     156 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide<br>
     157 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under<br>
     158 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this<br>
     159 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but<br>
     160 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on<br>
     161 the Program is not required to print an announcement.)<br>
     162<br>
     163These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If<br>
     164identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,<br>
     165and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in<br>
     166themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those<br>
     167sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you<br>
     168distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based<br>
     169on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of<br>
     170this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the<br>
     171entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.<br>
     172<br>
     173Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest<br>
     174your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to<br>
     175exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or<br>
     176collective works based on the Program.<br>
     177<br>
     178In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program<br>
     179with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of<br>
     180a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under<br>
     181the scope of this License.<br>
     182<br>
     183 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,<br>
     184under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of<br>
     185Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:<br>
     186<br>
     187 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable<br>
     188 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections<br>
     189 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,<br>
     190<br>
     191 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three<br>
     192 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your<br>
     193 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete<br>
     194 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be<br>
     195 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium<br>
     196 customarily used for software interchange; or,<br>
     197<br>
     198 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer<br>
     199 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is<br>
     200 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you<br>
     201 received the program in object code or executable form with such<br>
     202 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)<br>
     203<br>
     204The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for<br>
     205making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source<br>
     206code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any<br>
     207associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to<br>
     208control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a<br>
     209special exception, the source code distributed need not include<br>
     210anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary<br>
     211form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the<br>
     212operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component<br>
     213itself accompanies the executable.<br>
     214<br>
     215If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering<br>
     216access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent<br>
     217access to copy the source code from the same place counts as<br>
     218distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not<br>
     219compelled to copy the source along with the object code.<br>
     220<br>
     221 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program<br>
     222except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt<br>
     223otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is<br>
     224void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.<br>
     225However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under<br>
     226this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such<br>
     227parties remain in full compliance.<br>
     228<br>
     229 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not<br>
     230signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or<br>
     231distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are<br>
     232prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by<br>
     233modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the<br>
     234Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and<br>
     235all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying<br>
     236the Program or works based on it.<br>
     237<br>
     238 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the<br>
     239Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the<br>
     240original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to<br>
     241these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further<br>
     242restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.<br>
     243You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to<br>
     244this License.<br>
     245<br>
     246 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent<br>
     247infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),<br>
     248conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or<br>
     249otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not<br>
     250excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot<br>
     251distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this<br>
     252License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you<br>
     253may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent<br>
     254license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by<br>
     255all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then<br>
     256the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to<br>
     257refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.<br>
     258<br>
     259If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under<br>
     260any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to<br>
     261apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other<br>
     262circumstances.<br>
     263<br>
     264It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any<br>
     265patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any<br>
     266such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the<br>
     267integrity of the free software distribution system, which is<br>
     268implemented by public license practices. Many people have made<br>
     269generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed<br>
     270through that system in reliance on consistent application of that<br>
     271system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing<br>
     272to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot<br>
     273impose that choice.<br>
     274<br>
     275This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to<br>
     276be a consequence of the rest of this License.<br>
     277<br>
     278 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in<br>
     279certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the<br>
     280original copyright holder who places the Program under this License<br>
     281may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding<br>
     282those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among<br>
     283countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates<br>
     284the limitation as if written in the body of this License.<br>
     285<br>
     286 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions<br>
     287of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will<br>
     288be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to<br>
     289address new problems or concerns.<br>
     290<br>
     291Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program<br>
     292specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and &quot;any<br>
     293later version&quot;, you have the option of following the terms and conditions<br>
     294either of that version or of any later version published by the Free<br>
     295Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of<br>
     296this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software<br>
     297Foundation.<br>
     298<br>
     299 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free<br>
     300programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author<br>
     301to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free<br>
     302Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes<br>
     303make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals<br>
     304of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and<br>
     305of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.<br>
     306<br>
     307 NO WARRANTY<br>
     308<br>
     309 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY<br>
     310FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN<br>
     311OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES<br>
     312PROVIDE THE PROGRAM &quot;AS IS&quot; WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED<br>
     313OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF<br>
     314MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS<br>
     315TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE<br>
     316PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,<br>
     317REPAIR OR CORRECTION.<br>
     318<br>
     319 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING<br>
     320WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR<br>
     321REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,<br>
     322INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING<br>
     323OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED<br>
     324TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY<br>
     325YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER<br>
     326PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE<br>
     327POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.<br>
     328<br>
     329 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS<br>
     330<br>
     331 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs<br>
     332<br>
     333 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest<br>
     334possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it<br>
     335free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.<br>
     336<br>
     337 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest<br>
     338to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively<br>
     339convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least<br>
     340the &quot;copyright&quot; line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.<br>
     341<br>
     342 &lt;one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.&gt;<br>
     343 Copyright (C) &lt;year&gt; &lt;name of author&gt;<br>
     344<br>
     345 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify<br>
     346 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by<br>
     347 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or<br>
     348 (at your option) any later version.<br>
     349<br>
     350 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,<br>
     351 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of<br>
     352 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the<br>
     353 GNU General Public License for more details.<br>
     354<br>
     355 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along<br>
     356 with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,<br>
     357 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.<br>
     358<br>
     359Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.<br>
     360<br>
     361If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this<br>
     362when it starts in an interactive mode:<br>
     363<br>
     364 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author<br>
     365 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.<br>
     366 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it<br>
     367 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.<br>
     368<br>
     369The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate<br>
     370parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may<br>
     371be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be<br>
     372mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.<br>
     373<br>
     374You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your<br>
     375school, if any, to sign a &quot;copyright disclaimer&quot; for the program, if<br>
     376necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:<br>
     377<br>
     378 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program<br>
     379 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.<br>
     380<br>
     381 &lt;signature of Ty Coon&gt;, 1 April 1989<br>
     382 Ty Coon, President of Vice<br>
     383<br>
     384This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into<br>
     385proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may<br>
     386consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the<br>
     387library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General<br>
     388Public License instead of this License.<br>

     1Preliminary notes:
     2
     31) The majority of code in the VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE) is
     4copyrighted by Oracle Corporation. This code is combined with third-party code
     5that was originally released under licenses which the Free Software Foundation
     6considers incompatible with the GPL, such as the Apache License 2.0, the OpenSSL
     7license, the Mozilla Public License (MPL) and the Slirp license. (Please see the
     8VirtualBox User Manual for a complete list of third-party code and their
     9licenses.) As a special exception to the terms and conditions of the GPL listed
     10below, Oracle gives you explicit permission to combine its GPL code contained in
     11VirtualBox OSE with third-party code under the aforementioned licenses. You may
     12copy and distribute such a combination provided that you adhere to the terms and
     13conditions of all of the GPL and the licenses of the third-party code; in
     14particular, you must include the source code of the entire combination insofar
     15as the GPL requires distribution of source code.
     16
     172) The GPL listed below does not bind software which uses VirtualBox services by
     18merely linking to VirtualBox libraries so long as all VirtualBox interfaces used
     19by that software are multi-licensed. A VirtualBox interface is deemed
     20multi-licensed if it is declared in a VirtualBox header file that is licensed
     21under both the GPL version 2 (below) *and* the Common Development and
     22Distribution License Version 1.0 (CDDL), as it comes in the "COPYING.CDDL" file.
     23In other words, calling such a multi-licensed interface is merely considered
     24normal use of VirtualBox and does not turn the calling code into a derived work
     25of VirtualBox. In particular, this applies to code that wants to extend
     26VirtualBox by way of the Extension Pack mechanism declared in the ExtPack.h
     27header file.
     28
     293) Whoever creates or distributes a derived work based on VirtualBox OSE is not
     30obligated to grant the above exceptions for such a version. The GPL allows for
     31releasing a modified version without the above exception; in addition, Oracle
     32hereby also allows you to release a modified version which carries forward these
     33exceptions.
