Hello

Is it possible to dual license dynatree with a GPL license? This would help
us Drupal developers to include dynatree in our projects directly (we can
still advise users to get the latest distro from dynatree but some users
are rather novice linux users).

many thanks

Seems that jQuery and Ruby do it for example, so I am generally open to this.

As I understand, the current MIT license is compatible with GPL, so it should already
be allowed to use it in a GPL licensed project:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License  
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License_compatibility
  http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/gpl-compatible.html

This article:
  http://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2007/gpl-non-gpl-collaboration.html#x1-90004
states that '[..]the developer should simply use the permissive license without any
further reference to the GPL.'
  
Do you have any hints that MIT can *not* be used in GPL projects?

So I thought (and still do) as well. Unfortunately, the Drupal Association is very
strict. Please see, http://drupal.org/node/672590#comment-2823296
