Hi,
The OSL VOP nodes accept both an input file or the OSL code embedded in the node text editor. Doesn't it work for you?
Thanks,

I dont understand ? how I move the OSL utility shader from LiveDB in houdini ?, Copy take a XML htmlentities text, not well formated for OSL node. Drag and drop no work, and the import button does nothing

Ah, sorry. Yes, true. Currently, you can't download these OSL textures directly in the Houdini plugin because it only supports material type liveDB nodes. I'll take a look at this limitation at some point, but meanwhile, you could open the liveDB OSL texture in the Standalone and copy/paste the OSL code into the plugin OSL VOP node, as you can see in the attached images.
Thanks,
