But a technology with commercial licensing, such as some of the
"guest" functionality of VirtualBox cannot be covered by LPI (LPI Exam
Developers can correct me if I'm wrong), only OpenSource licenses --
and in the case of the kernel -- GPLv2 compatible.

That's for the "host" modules.
Objective 102.6 has to do with "guest" support.

The entire LPI Objectives avoid all non-Open Source, and in the case
of the kernel, non-GPLv2 compatible licenses.  That's why I brought it
up, because it's the #1 detail that will _remove_ a technology from
consideration.

It's unavoidable.

If you re-check my initial quote, I only addressed your comment:

  "Also it could be interesting be aware of conflicts
   between kvm and virtualbox."

For the "guest" objective, I don't see how LPI could cover "guest"
conflicts between KVM and VirtualBox.  VirtualBox has many components
that are not GPLv2 compatible in the kernel.
