VirtualBox was initially offered by innotek GmbH under a proprietary software license, making one version of the product available at no cost for personal or evaluation use, subject to the VirtualBox Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL).[9] In January 2007, based on counsel by LiSoG, innotek GmbH released VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE) as free and open-source software, subject to the requirements of the GNU General Public License (GPL), version 2.[10]

innotek GmbH also contributed to the development of OS/2 and Linux support in virtualization[11]and OS/2 ports[12] of products from Connectix which were later acquired by Microsoft. Specifically, innotek developed the “additions” code in both Microsoft Virtual PC and Microsoft Virtual Server, which enables various host-guest OS interactions like shared clipboards or dynamic viewport resizing.

Sun Microsystems acquired innotek in February 2008.[13][14][15]

Oracle Corporation acquired Sun in January 2010 and re-branded the product as “Oracle VM VirtualBox”.[16][17][18]
