This package is not part of the Debian operating system.
It is in the "contrib" area of the Debian archive because it requires a
non-free compiler (Open Watcom) to build the BIOS.
Upstream provides pre-built BIOS images which is used instead.

Preliminary notes:

1) The majority of the code in the VirtualBox base package is licensed under
the GNU General Public License, version 3 (GPL).  VirtualBox contains many
components developed by Oracle and various third parties. The license for
each component is located in the licensing documentation and/or in the
component's source code.

2) As an exception to the reciprocal license obligations of the GPL listed
below, you may use any VirtualBox header file that is marked by Oracle as
licensed under both the GPL and the Common Development and Distribution
License version 1.0 (CDDL) to invoke the unmodified VirtualBox libraries. In
other words, calling such a multi-licensed interface by dynamically linking
to the unmodified VirtualBox libraries is considered a normal use of
VirtualBox and does not turn the calling code into a derived work of
VirtualBox. In particular, this applies to code that wants to extend
VirtualBox by way of the Extension Pack mechanism declared in the ExtPack.h
header file.

3) Whoever creates or distributes a derived work based on VirtualBox is not
obligated to grant the above exceptions for such a version. The GPL permits
you to release a modified version without the above exception; in addition,
Oracle hereby also allows you to release a modified version which carries
forward these exceptions.
