As your subsequent comment points out, jailbreaks are specifically exempt.
Corellium performs modifications to crack iOS's licensing, which is clearly distinct from jailbreaking. It's the nature of the modifications they're distributing that's the problem.

The modifications Corellium does are the same modifications a jailbreak would do and done for the exact same purposes. A jailbroken device can be used for security research purposes and so can Corellium, unsigned apps or tweaks can be installed on a jailbroken device and so they can on Corellium.
