The licence issue is just > one reason. Currently, if multiple package archives offer the same packages, then the archive offering the highest version number wins (which is always MELPA, based on how they construct their version numbers). All other issues aside, a user would reasonably expect that an installed package should not switch archives on updates automatically and that it is possible to specify which archive is considered a valid source (in general and for specific packages).
