Is it possible to add VirtualBox  to workstation. I understand that t is 
free software and only the extensions are for personal use.

I have reboot from f21 Workstation  into openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle)(x86_64) [1]
which has VirtualBox 4.2.18_OSE r88780 installed by default
(plus sugar 0.98.8)

To test f21-Alpha TC-5 .isos as I cannot load VirtualBox in f21
  It would be  much nicer to have VirtualBox in Workstation
