Not sure this is needed and I'm not a lawyer :P

I mean, most of the tools' code isn't MIT (jpegoptim, optipng etc) and we don't treat them differently.

So, whatever the choice here is, it should be done in all repos.

I understand the point, we decided to respect the original license at imagemin/pngquant-bin#105 besides this. Maybe better to fix those repos accordingly?

I would also challenge that you can build an MIT wrapper around a GPL component. If that would work I would write MIT wrappers for everything. A proper fix would be to license the project under GPL-2.0-only.
