I think I have it figured...just something about me not being
able to put code in #drupal CVS directly unless
it is GPL. But I think with MIT I can relicense, but making license
gurus look at it for me.
IANAL, but I think only the copyright holders can change the
license. However, the so-called MIT license is said to be
compatible with the GPL, so that you can freely
link MIT licensed code with GPL licensed code and
distribute the combination.
You can't change the license on the files, but you can include()
it freely, as long as you document that the files are covered under
the MIT license instead of the GPL. There's no issues with
that.
