Hi,
I am not a lawyer, but as far as I know, the MIT license allows
re-licensing of derived work under the GPL.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License_compatibility
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License
So what speaks against releasing your derived work under the GPL >= 2?

When developing a new package we want to have a license attributed to that
package. That said, I am a little confused how one would approach the MIT
license. I am working on a package that extends upon another library that
has the MIT license. I know that I need to create a LICENSE file with YEAR
and COPYRIGHT HOLDER.
My question is, would the copyright holder be just the authors for this
given R package or a combination of the R package authors and the original
library authors?
Regards,
Charles
