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.
