Man, so much attempt to stir up drama. Can they just talk about why they initially added the MIT license if they didn't intend to make it public, why they didn't make it public and open source, and what needs to happen to do that in a way and at a time that everyone is happy with, without having to do so with the eyes of the internet on them?
