Hello! 


I've got a question about theme license. I'm reviewing a theme that declares MIT license (http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT). Is this acceptable?
Here (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses/) I couldn't find MIT listed as GPL compatible, but then I did independent search which seemed to indicate that MIT license is GPL compatible. Then I also remembered that we allow for bundling MIt licensed resources with themes and now I'm lost :)


Best regards,
Ola Laczek
