It would be unfortunate if they decided to start charging for the free edition, however most of the product is GPLed. The only parts which are not open source are a machine-level RDP server, USB support, and USB over RDP (see http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions). I'm sure the community would fork it if Oracle closed it up.
