PS. I realize that the reasoning may not be obvious so here it is 
spelled out explicitly: Basically, we don't want to make judgments about 
what licenses are compatible with what other licenses. We're not 
lawyers, we have really no clue what the result of combining different 
licenses is. We need a simple story so the quid pro quo is: If you want 
your stuff in the trunk you must make it available as MIT, so that our 
story remains simple and consistent and keeps the lawyers off our 
collective behinds. If you can't do that, well, tough luck, you might 
want to think ahead the next time you choose a license.
