In fact one can earn revenue from the sites using your work if you have released under GPL, but they must licence their work in GPL. If you release your work in MIT Licence the developer need not licence his work in MIT he may keep it has closed source. Does Yipit allows commericial usage????

I believe Yipit does allow commercial usage. Since they allow you to save your affiliate-id's for many of the deals sites they aggregate and they build those into the links their API returns to you. The python-twitter uses the Apache license I believe. Where does that lay in the spectrum?

Where does that lay in the spectrum? wt do u mean by this????

By that I mean GPL seems to be very open-source and MIT seems to allow people to close up the code.

Yes. Developers cannot change the licence of your original work. You would be credited by developer even if u choose MIT licence. :)

Just added Apache2 license. Approve?

Yup its good :), Helps developer who are working on MIT, BSD and GPL projects. Hey you can also dual licence your project :)just like jQuery!
