>That doesn't make any sense. If people could take GPL code and switch it to MIT license then GPL would be meaningless He never said that, he said you can you can combine your permissively licensed code with GPL licensed code and _your_ code will still be available as permissive. You stated that you wanted to share _your_ code with 'everyone', nothing prevents you from doing that. Someone else's GPL licensed code is NOT _your_ code just because you decide to use it.
