MIT license vs GPL

Question

The MIT license is GPL compatible. Is the MIT license GPL compatible? ie. I can include MIT licensed code in a GPL licensed product but can I include GPL licensed code in a MIT licensed product?

It seems to me that the chief difference between the MIT license and GPL is that the MIT doesn't require modifications be open sourced whereas the GPL does. Is that correct - is the GPL is more restrictive than the MIT license?

Answer 1

You are correct that the GPL is more restrictive than the MIT license.

You cannot include GPL code in a MIT licensed product.
