Wow!  Then the Ubuntu team can get in big trouble and should change the 
name of the package from vitrualbox-ose as one would assume ose stands 
for "open source edition".  Also, and more severe would be the fact that 
they have "This packages contains the Open Source Edition of 
VirtualBox." in the description.  They really should not tag a 
proprietary product as open source.
