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.
