What prevents the code from being both MIT licensed and GPL licensed? The 
MIT license, or the GPL license?

Having answered that, can you see where someone would say the GPL is more 
restrictive than the MIT license?

And the conversation is originally about foisting the GPL on authors who 
otherwise would chose a different license. So you can't really say "take 
your pick" when FSF is saying "how can we prevent people from taking their 
pick?"
