You only need to pay if you're doing a mass deployment. See the
licensing FAQ, q.6:

    What exactly do you mean by personal use and academic
    use in the Personal Use and Evaluation License?

    Personal use is when you install the product on one
    or more PCs yourself and you make use of it (or even
    your friend, sister and grandmother). It doesn't
    matter whether you just use it for fun or run your
    multi-million euro business with it. Also, if you
    install it on your work PC at some large company,
    this is still personal use. However, if you are
    an administrator and want to deploy it to the 500
    desktops in your company, this would no longer qualify
    as personal use. Well, you could ask each of your 500
    employees to install VirtualBox but don't you think
    we deserve some money in this case? We'd even assist
    you with any issue you might have.

    Use at academic institutions such as schools, colleges
    and universities by both teachers and students is
    covered. So in addition to the personal use which
    is always permitted, academic institutions may also
    choose to roll out the software in an automated way
    to make it available to its students and personnel.
