Re: [libreoffice-users] MS Anniversary upgrade warning - not LO issue

Hi :)
VirtualBox is owned by Oracle and subject to their whims.  At the moment it
is still free and supports open standards but all that could easily
change.  Such changes would make it more consistent with other Oracle
projects although such change is unlikely in the case of
VirtualBox.
Regards from
Tom :)
