It's non-free as in closed-source and proprietary EULA-s and stuff. It doesn't 
cost anything, AFAIK.

The VirtualBox-OSE (the open-source edition) is in rpmfusion and doesn't have 
USB support. The VirtualBox (the Sun closed-source edition) is in Sun's yum 
repository and does support USB.

You can read all about it on http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions page.

Best, :-)
