You do need to download the version of the GPL relevant for the RAIDiator version you have installed. chirpa made the opening post in this thread a long while ago. On recent pages of this thread you can find more up-to-date instructions on how to install newer versions of VirtualBox on recent firmware.
For example there's instructions for installing VirtualBox on 4.2.16 (pretty much the same as 4.2.17, I should think as there's very few GPL differences between 4.2.16 and 4.2.17 none of which I think is relevant to installing VirtualBox) here: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=26468&p=296922#p296922
I would follow the recent guide and use a recent version of VirtualBox (much newer than the 3.2.8 you linked to). Each new version of RAIDiator and each new version of VirtualBox can potentially change the steps you need to take. So it's a good idea to read through recent pages of the thread for suggestions to deal with common problems others have experienced.
