Extension Writers Discussion • Can extensions be submitted under MIT?

The rules on this are unclear.

https://www.phpbb.com/extensions/rules- ... /#licenses

• Extensions should be released under GPL v2. Included frameworks should use GPL v2 or a compatible license. See http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.htm ... patibility.
• A license.txt file should be included in the root directory of the extension.

It doesn't say extensions must be released under GPL, it says they should but should isn't definitive. Licenses like the MIT license are just as open and it's commonly used by many open source projects.

Can I get some clarification on this please? I did search for this but nothing obvious appeared in results.
