I'm sorry I didn't look at the license of CakePHP. As I'm never
integrated MIT licensed code before I'm not sure.

I also think we should provide clarification on this issue since it is a
vital concept of GNU Herds to be free software. The X11 License is 
declared as `GPL compatible`
<http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/index_html/>. Regardless of
this situation we should really contact the FSF. After this legal
question we can keep on discussing more technically questions.
