This does not mean they can't use the code in products not licensed under the QPL. With clause #3b, contributors have to give them permission to do so. The clause only means they can't take submitted code for proprietary works and never release it in an QPL-licensed work. As long as the submitted code is made available under the QPL, they can also make it available under any other license. Note that clause #3b does (IMO intentionally) not require modifications of the contributed code to be available under the QPL, so they can also license it under different open source licenses, including the GPL.
