It is just a culture thing. Some open source communities are very GPL based (R for example) whereas Julia and Python are very MIT based. If you go against the grain you generally will make people grouchy but there is no legal / technical reason to not use what you want – but if you have the choice you will get more interest in Julia with MIT.
