Actually there is a point:  In the opinion of some leading lawyers
at least, the GPL includes a patent license (implicit in GPLv2,
explicit in GPLv3), while the MIT X11 licenses are seen as *only*
copyright licenses that don't protect you from being beaten over
the head with patents even by entities that have distribuited the
software.
