GNU is kind of 'clingy', and not used much recently. By 'clingy', I mean it forces all code that links to it to itself be GNU, which is not always ideal. Any of MIT, MPL, Apache etc are all common, and very similar to each other.
You have to define "not always ideal".
GPL is for freedom. MIT is for not hindering (closed source) profit. That's the difference.
Personally, I don't think anyone will ever be allowed to make profit from this code base. I may be wrong, though.
@justinmeister, your other game, The Stolen Crown, is licensed under an MIT license. Any chance of this repository being licensed similarly?
I can tell you right now, he doesnt give a rats ass about people copying it. He just whipped this up in like a month to learn python and pygame, and moved on.
