Graham,

Do our windows contributors just use the
non-open source edition of virtualbox?

I guess I do then (and also for my Mac). Is that a bad thing?

The only reason it would be a bad thing is if their license forbids
using it to contribute to open-source projects.  I consider this
unlikely, but I'd like somebody to look into it.

I'm working on related parts of the CG, so I'll remove the "we
recommend the open source edition" part, but I wouldn't feel
comfortable pushing it until somebody's checked their PEUL license to
make sure that we're not recommending that people break the (contract)
law.


Linux users will of course have the open-source addition in their
package managers, but most of the people using lilybuntu won't be
linux users, so this doesn't help us.

Cheers,
- Graham


I'll download it and test it later this week. Don't forget I'm doing this on Windows - the ultimate non-open source operating system...
