Bug Description
Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose
Hi
I'd like to ask for an Upgrade of Virtualbox-ose to Virtual box 4.x (current Version+subversion)
With the Ownershipchange from Sun to Oracle also Virtualbox is part of Oracle now.
Orcle continues their Open Source politics with the product Virtualbox.
There are some signifcant changes with the Release of VirtualBox Version 4
Open Source Packaging and Licensing
Fully Open Source base product. No longer will there be any confusion about separate editions of VirtualBox. For the first time there is an OSS licensed binary meaning partners do not need to build and maintain their own source tress. This lowers a barrier and is expected to spark increased interest in VirtualBox virtualization solutions.
The first Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack will offer high-speed USB 2.0, Remote Display Services and Network booting features. This will be licensed under the same free for Personal Use and Evaluation License as previous versions.

The currently available Versions in Ubuntu are quite outdated
