If the license is GPL compatible, you're okay.

The MIT license is compatible, if by MIT you mean X11 or Expat.  There
are many "MIT" licenses.

Here are incompatible licenses.

Anyway, you must use a GPL compatible license.  If you want to avoid any
legal confusion, use the GPL.  And let me make a special note that
Creative Commons is not a software license.
