If switching hypervisors is still an option, there’s a free edition of VMware, and should more resources materialize in the future you can upgrade from the free edition just by applying a license key. But John says he’s already committed to VirtualBox.
(Keep in mind that, while VirtualBox proper is GPL-licensed, the Oracle extension packs aren’t. That isn’t an issue for SCO guests, though, as there aren’t extensions for that OS.)
