[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#493491: [virtualbox-ose] make it possible to install VirtualBox guest Additions

[Matthias Bläsing]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Severity: wishlist

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Hey,

I'm currently using the non-ose version of VirtualBox directly from sun.
This is mainly because I really like mouse integration feature of the
VirtualBox guest additions.

I had a look at the license file and in §2 section 2 I read, that I/you
would be allowed to redistribute an unmodified version of the ISO. This
would certainly not qualify for inclusion in main, but should non-free
not the right place for a package just containing this ISO or an
installer for it?

Thanks

Matthias
