As far as my small licensing knowledge goes, derivatives of a MIT-licensed
work can be licensed under GPL, but the original copyright notice has to be
left.

Not to mean that it would be a good idea to fork CakePHP under a not
backwards-compatible open source license, which would prevent from a
potential merge with the main code base in the future.
