One example is this historical 0day vulnerability reported privately to Oracle in 2008 by an independent security researcher. Not going public with the details of vulnerabilities only leads to laziness and complacency on behalf of the company that fields the affected products. Security through obscurity is the flawed modus operandi at Oracle. Oracle is infamous for their lack of transparency in disclosing the details of security bugs, as well as discouraging full and public disclosure by third parties. Events and news in recent years (like the Snowden leaks) demonstrate there is an urgent need for increased transparency and verifiable trust in the digital world. For these reasons, those who care about running FOSS and appreciate its ethical views are recommended to avoid running VirtualBox also see avoid non-freedom software.īesides this licensing issue, a more tangible reason to avoid VirtualBox is the security practices of Oracle who produce the software. In summary, there are issues surrounding the contradictory language of the license, the assertion of patents against software that rely upon it, and the placing of certain restrictions on software uses. The issues of the Open Watcom License are explained in this thread on the Debian Mailinglist.
This move is considered problematic for free and open source software projects like Debian, on which Whonix ™ is based. However, it now comes with one that requires compilation by a toolchain that does not meet the definition of Free Software as per the guidelines of the Free Software Foundation.
