Is it legal to use “VirtualBox” software without making a payment?
<p>I am planning to open a blog webpage, publish technology-based content on it and make money via blogger earning methods like Google AdSense. </p>

<p>The software I mentioned in the title, which is available at <a href="https://www.virtualbox.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>, is just one of the necessities to prepare my content.</p>

<p>However, firstly, I want to be sure whether this kind of usage is legal or not for this free software.</p>

<p>According to the <a href="https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Licensing_FAQ" rel="noreferrer">website</a>, the VirtualBox base package is licensed under the GPL. That means you're free to use it for any purpose. The VirtualBox Extension Pack has a more restrictive license, which is only free for personal, educational, or evaluation use. </p>
