    GPL can prevent the linking of external and non-free third party libraries. It can add an increased legal complexity to the code base. It’s difficult for MIT licenses to have that “clashing” between licenses.

    There are variations to GPL that allow the linking of non-free third party libraries. Either way, consult your lawyer before using GPL code.
