Pablo Vazquez confirmed me that the MIT license is compatible.
He edited the https://extensions.blender.org/policies/ page with this information.

You can upload your add-ons. 👍

I see this repo is MIT, but all your Blender scripts are GPL (license text at the top of the file).

Thanks, I would very much like to, now it does say that "BE will only offer GNU GPL compliant software" this repo is under the MIT license, does that mean it wouldn't be allowed on the platform without a license change?

@gregzaal it's a unorthodox way to license for sure, I would like to clean this up in the future.

@xan2622
I just tried uploading it, it won't let me with the MIT license, values I tried is.

license = ["MIT"]
# and
license = ["MIT License"]

Not sure if you're aware, but as Blender itself (and its python API) are GPL, this means all Blender add-on code (anything that imports bpy) must be GPL as well. It's not (legally) possible to license a Blender add-on as anything other than GPL.

You can read more about this here or do some research yourself:
