Which license can I release stand-alone (exe, dmg) shoes-applications under?

Question

If I create an application, using Shoes, would I have to license it under a open source license, or can I use it for closed-source/propietary stuff? The framework consists of a lot of moving parts, so it's not entirely clear to me.

EDIT: The reason why I'm asking, is because of the notes at this page:

Since both anal_pe and XPwn are GPL, I’m afraid this extension must be GPL as well. The rest of Shoes is MIT. Which is okay I guess since the packager isn’t really needed to run Shoes apps.

I assume that it doesn't affect the final product that the packager is GPL'ed, but I just wanted an opinion about that, other than my own guesswork.

Shoes is distributed under an MIT license:

You should be able to use pretty much any license, even a closed source/proprietary license.

You're not linking against the packager, merely using it, so your app shouldn't fall under the requirements of the GPL.

Answer 2

As mipadi noted, MIT license means you don't owe anything to anyone, so you can release your applications under any license you want.
