If you write code in the open, most often than not you do not really care what other people will do with it. If the project is MIT, that's fine. If the project is GPL, that's fine too. Often the license is somebody else's concern, not the actual creator. I remember Woz saying he planned to give away his designs and it was Jobs who convinced him not to. Woz was fine too, he didn't care. Only Jobs cared. Even if it is GPL I'm sure that many people will not honor it, just like there are tons of deadbeats who do not pay for closed source software even if it is just for the rush involved in outsmarting the closed source developer. It is human nature and I'm sure that programmers working in GPL projects know it and do not care.
