Comment(by ryandesign@…):
The summary of that 2007 thread seems to be that VBoxGuestAdditions.iso
was only available inside the VirtualBox non-OSE binary and that the Arch
Linux folks wanted permission to distribute it separately, and got it by
asking nicely.
But these days, it is available separately, and I assume it is under the
Virtual Box Personal Use and Evaluation License, which doesn't allow
redistribution, but we can easily enough ask our server admin to add an
exclusion for this and other similar extensions (like #31180). I've
updated the attached patch to indicate this license.
