在她的老家的FAQ看到:
--------------------
What license is VirtualBox released under?

    The Open Source Edition (OSE) is released under the GNU General Public License V2. Essentially, this means that you get the full source code of VirtualBox OSE, and you can distribute and modify it, provided that you ship all modifications under the GPL as well.

    If you want the extra features that are missing from VirtualBox OSE, you can alternatively use the full VirtualBox package free of charge for personal use or evaluation purposes. Both versions -- VirtualBox OSE and VirtualBox -- are available from the Downloads page.
-----------------------

http://arch.linux-sevenler.org 上的是OSE版本,对personal use而言,具有extra features的full VirtualBox package应该更有吸引力,但是我不知道。把这个东西重新为archlinux打包,是否违反作者的版权约定。
如果只是制作PKGBUILD又是否违反作者的版权约定。

看下面:

-----------------------
   Can I redistribute the VirtualBox binaries?

    No. The Personal Use and Evaluation License allows you to download the VirtualBox binaries for personal and academic use and for evaluation, but it does not give you the right to redistribute these binaries. So you may not put them onto your own websites or other mirrors. We do this because we would presently like to keep track of how many people are downloading these binaries.

    The fact that we also provide a BitTorrent tracker does not change this policy; we are simply making an exception from the no-distribution policy as long as you use our tracker.

    The no-distribution restriction does not apply to the Open Source Edition (OSE), as the GPL does, of course, permit redistribution of source and binaries, provided that you adhere to the other terms and conditions of the GPL.
