Īlthough VirtualBox has experimental support for macOS guests, the end user license agreement of macOS does not permit the operating system to run on non-Apple hardware, and this is enforced within the operating system by calls to the Apple System Management Controller (SMC) in all Apple machines, which verifies the authenticity of the hardware.

īuilding the BIOS for VirtualBox since version 4.2 requires the use of the Open Watcom compiler, for which the Sybase Open Watcom Public License is approved as "Open Source" by the Open Source Initiative but not as "free" by the Free Software Foundation or under the Debian Free Software Guidelines. This removed the same proprietary components not available under GPLv2. A second package called the VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE) was released under GPLv2.

The full package was offered gratis under the PUEL, with licenses for other commercial deployment purchasable from Oracle. Prior to version 4, there were two different packages of the VirtualBox software.

Unlike some software using a proprietary license, the "VirtualBox Oracle VM VirtualBox extension pack" is not source-available since it includes closed-source components, which does not make the source code publicly available. Since VirtualBox version 5.1.30 Oracle defines personal use as the installation of the software on a single host computer for non-commercial purposes. The separate "VirtualBox Oracle VM VirtualBox extension pack" providing support for USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), disk encryption, NVMe and Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) boot is under a proprietary license, called Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL), which permits use of the software for personal use, educational use, or evaluation, free of charge. The core package is, since version 4 in December 2010, free software under GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2).

For some guest operating systems, a "Guest Additions" package of device drivers and system applications is available, which typically improves performance, especially that of graphics and allows changing the resolution of the guest OS automatically when the window of the virtual machine on the host OS is resized. It supports the creation and management of guest virtual machines running Windows, Linux, BSD, OS/2, Solaris, Haiku, and OSx86, as well as limited virtualization of macOS guests on Apple hardware. There are also ports to FreeBSD and Genode. VirtualBox may be installed on Windows, macOS (up to 10.15 Catalina, no official support of macOS 11 Big Sur and later versions despite its availability for Intel-based Macs), Linux, Solaris and OpenSolaris.
Created by Innotek, it was acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2008, which was in turn acquired by Oracle in 2010. Oracle VM VirtualBox (formerly Sun VirtualBox, Sun xVM VirtualBox and Innotek VirtualBox) is a free and open-source hosted hypervisor for x86 virtualization, developed by Oracle Corporation. X86-64 only (version series 5.x and earlier work on IA-32) īase Package ( USB support only for USB 1.1): GNU General Public License version 2 (Optionally CDDL for most files of the source distribution), "Extension Pack" (including USB 3.0 support): PUEL Windows, macOS (only Intel-based Macs), Linux and Solaris
