The MIT license should be compatible with (almost) every other software license. Just read the text, it's pretty short :) I'd definitely like real-time collaboration capabilities, though not necessarily via a web application. There are many benefits to also being able to use a local editor with owncloud acting only as a rendezvous point. So from that POV using the infininote protocol would help. BTW, real-time collaborative editing may be nice for some tasks, but the ability to have versioned changes with commit messages and everything is also useful. Consider writing a book or a group opinion piece; you definitely want to be able to see who changed what and their justification for the new text.
