VirutalBox is mostly F/LOSS licensed. Only the guest additions, RDP and USB
parts are closed last time I checked.  Just like MySQL has been branched
http://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-faq , virtualbox can be should the supporting
company behave badly.

All of VMware software is closed and they changed the pricing model
