1] The "other" license does not matter to "us" 2] The GPL'ed version is just that - FOSS
Hence, there's no problem discussing the GPL'ed VirtualBox on the list here. The proprietary version has some additional tools which Sun wishes to sell for a fee. I don't see any reason to dismiss VirtualBox just for that reason!
