The blog post mentions an open source license but I can’t immediately see it in the post or the repo (perhaps I’m just missing it). Any idea what license this is released under?
- ylere 3y agoIt seems to be a fork of VirtualBox under the same dual license as the original project.
- Daviey 3y agohttps://github.com/cyberus-technology/virtualbox-kvm/blob/dev/COPYING https://github.com/cyberus-technology/virtualbox-kvm/blob/de...
- davb 3y agoThat appears to be the VirtualBox OSE license, copied from the original Oracle package, not the license for this specific release. It’s unclear how this new derivative or work is licensed.
- blitzclone 3y agoThe intention is to have this under the same license as the VBox open source release. If there is a way to clarify this more on the Github page, please advise. :)
- davb 3y agoThanks for the clarification, that’s really helpful. I think a paragraph under a “License” header in the README just reiterating what you said in that reply would be pretty clear. I’m sure some people would make the assumption that it’s under the same license as the upstream package but in some environments absolutely clarity around licenses is really appreciated.
- blitzclone 3y agoOk. We'll try to clarify the situation in the README. Thanks for the feedback!
