Am I correct in understanding the MIT License (aka X11 License) to be
compatible with the GPL v2?  The FSF indicates it is so:
http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/index_html#GPLCompatibleLicenses

<http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/index_html#GPLCompatibleLicenses>I've
been releasing my recent plugins/code under the MIT License.

Thanks,
