Binaries use rights have nothing to do with source code being copyleft. 
(That is why everyone can choose binary license if provides source)
If VirtualBox binaries on site are redistributable, that is great.
Aether way they should, ideally, be recompiled for OI to test and 
distribute.

For Extensions Ok, they are used by downloading from virtualbox.org.
