Resorting to argumentum ad internetum, eh?

That link is crap.

The whole argument is "license your code GPL-compatible because the
GPL is popular and you don't want to be unpopular." If I went by a
popularity contest to decide how to behave I'd be running Windows on a
Dell. Fortunately I can think for myself and I needn't rely on
internet links containing GPL cheerleading to make decisions for me.

Like I said before, I support the GPL, but I like the MIT license
better, and I certainly don't think "everyone else is doing it" is a
good reason to do ANYTHING, much less decide on the legal status of
code.
