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

[From: Jason Edgecombe]

I believe MIT and GPL are compatible:

See http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/index_html#X11License

    This license is sometimes called the /MIT license/, but that term is 
misleading, since MIT has used many licenses for software
