VirtualBox in PHP-AJAX

They didn't write the "detached" console functionality- They're using Sun's flash RDP client. It's a nice piece of tech, but it's licensed under the same license as the rest of Virtual Box, the Personal-Use Evaluation License.

That means it's fine for test and home projects, but you can't base a product on it.

The Virtualbox PUEL license allows commercial use as long as it's only being used by one person. And that person has to actually install it themselves. No good for many scenarios, but we use it at work under this clause.

It is possible to purchase a license as well, although I don't think there's a public price and I dread to think what Oracle want to charge

I'm trying to find out if we are already a Oracle enterprise customer if this is covered or not. Is that something general knowledge or do I have to contact an Oracle rep?

I've never purchased VirtualBox, but there is now at least an email address at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Licensing_FAQ
