Oracle. We weren't even a customer. We just had an ip space with a bunch of customers on it. Yhey tried to claim we needed to pay for all their virtualbox downloads since we weren't a home isp.

...such as? I also use VB on windows at home; it's what I have always used since a teen, because there were basically no free alternatives

I use VirtualBox on Windows 10 at home, simply because it is easy and free.
