For 20+ years I have ignored software licensing issues, except to credit
the work of others in Leo. See Leo's copyright notice. I don't plan to
change this policy.

" MIT License Compatibility

The MIT License is highly compatible with other permissive licenses. 
Including the BSD family of licenses. It is generally compatible with  GNU 
GPL group of licenses. However if you distribute the code that contains or 
is derivative of GNU GPL code the final project must of GPL compliant. In 
other words any source code must of publicly available. "

It seems that if MIT-licensed work is combined with GPL-licensed work, the 
combined work must be (or is) licensed under the GPL.  Basically that means 
that the source code must be made freely available.
