Because VirtualBox team wanna option to sub-license the whole product
on proprietary terms. (future possibility to create proprietary fork,
if company wants). Such options exists with other multi-license
software, such as Qt and OpenOffice.

This is why product is GPL, but patches are accepted only on MIT terms.
