[maemo-developers] open source licensing of maemo 5 example code MIT vs GPL

[From: gary liquid]

hi,

I am interested in picking up some of the examples from the maemoexamples
collection provided by nokia.
(
https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/trunk/?root=maemoexamples)

When I went looking, I find many are licensed under a permissive MIT
license.
this is great and open source friendly, but my application is written under
the GPL.

I am not a licensing expert, so hopefully one of you guys will be able to
help.

is it possible to use and embed pieces of these examples into liqbase or
would they need recreating from scratch?
