7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncPreliminary notes:
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsync1) The majority of code in the VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE) is
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsynccopyrighted by Oracle Corporation. This code is combined with third-party code
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncthat was originally released under licenses which the Free Software Foundation
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncconsiders incompatible with the GPL, such as the Apache License 2.0, the OpenSSL
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsynclicense, the Mozilla Public License (MPL) and the Slirp license. (Please see the
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncVirtualBox User Manual for a complete list of third-party code and their
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsynclicenses.) As a special exception to the terms and conditions of the GPL listed
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncbelow, Oracle gives you explicit permission to combine its GPL code contained in
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncVirtualBox OSE with third-party code under the aforementioned licenses. You may
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsynccopy and distribute such a combination provided that you adhere to the terms and
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncconditions of all of the GPL and the licenses of the third-party code; in
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncparticular, you must include the source code of the entire combination insofar
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncas the GPL requires distribution of source code.
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsync2) The GPL listed below does not bind software which uses VirtualBox services by
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncmerely linking to VirtualBox libraries so long as all VirtualBox interfaces used
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncby that software are multi-licensed. A VirtualBox interface is deemed
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncmulti-licensed if it is declared in a VirtualBox header file that is licensed
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncunder both the GPL version 2 (below) *and* the Common Development and
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncDistribution License Version 1.0 (CDDL), as it comes in the "COPYING.CDDL" file.
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncIn other words, calling such a multi-licensed interface is merely considered
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncnormal use of VirtualBox and does not turn the calling code into a derived work
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncof VirtualBox. In particular, this applies to code that wants to extend
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncVirtualBox by way of the Extension Pack mechanism declared in the ExtPack.h
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncheader file.
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsync3) Whoever creates or distributes a derived work based on VirtualBox OSE is not
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncobligated to grant the above exceptions for such a version. The GPL allows for
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsyncreleasing a modified version without the above exception; in addition, Oracle
7f21d92108ecca490de4b14e2a0a747b2a966beavboxsynchereby also allows you to release a modified version which carries forward these

8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncfreedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncLicense is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncsoftware--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncGeneral Public License applies to most of the Free Software
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncFoundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncusing it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthe GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncyour programs, too.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncprice. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynchave the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthis service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncif you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncin new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncanyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncThese restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncdistribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncgratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncyou have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncsource code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncdistribute and/or modify the software.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthat everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncsoftware. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncwant its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthat any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncauthors' reputations.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncpatents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncprogram will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncprogram proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncpatent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncmodification follow.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynca notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncunder the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncrefers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncmeans either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthat is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynceither verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynclanguage. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthe term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncActivities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynccovered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncrunning the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncis covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncProgram (independent of having been made by running the Program).
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncWhether that is true depends on what the Program does.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncsource code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncconspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynccopyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncnotices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncand give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncalong with the Program.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncYou may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncyou may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncof it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncdistribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncabove, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync parties under the terms of this License.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncThese requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncidentifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncand can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthemselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncsections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncdistribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncon the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthis License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncentire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncThus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncyour rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncexercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynccollective works based on the Program.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncIn addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncwith the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynca storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthe scope of this License.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncunder Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncSections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync customarily used for software interchange; or,
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync received the program in object code or executable form with such
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncThe source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncmaking modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynccode means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncassociated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynccontrol compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncspecial exception, the source code distributed need not include
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncanything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncform) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncoperating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncitself accompanies the executable.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncIf distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncaccess to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncaccess to copy the source code from the same place counts as
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncdistribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynccompelled to copy the source along with the object code.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncexcept as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncotherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncvoid, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncHowever, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthis License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncparties remain in full compliance.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncsigned it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncdistribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncprohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncmodifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncProgram), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncall its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthe Program or works based on it.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncProgram), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncoriginal licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthese terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncrestrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncYou are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthis License.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncinfringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncconditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncotherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncexcuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncdistribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncLicense and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncmay not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynclicense would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncall those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthe only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncrefrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncIf any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncany particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncapply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynccircumstances.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncIt is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncpatents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncsuch claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncintegrity of the free software distribution system, which is
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncimplemented by public license practices. Many people have made
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncgenerous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthrough that system in reliance on consistent application of that
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncsystem; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncto distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncimpose that choice.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncThis section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncbe a consequence of the rest of this License.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynccertain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncoriginal copyright holder who places the Program under this License
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncmay add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthose countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynccountries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthe limitation as if written in the body of this License.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncof the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncbe similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncaddress new problems or concerns.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncEach version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncspecifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynclater version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsynceither of that version or of any later version published by the Free
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncSoftware Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthis License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncprograms whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncto ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free

8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncmake exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncof preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncof promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY

8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncpossible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncfree software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsync To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncto attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncconvey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncthe "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

8810985701f1c6beb8f74c235c216e18b67192b0vboxsyncYou should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
