The GPL doesn't erect any walls at all. It just ensures that anyone using the program will have access to it's source code and can modify it to fit his own needs.
If that isn't what open source is all about, I don't know what is. Frankly, anyone using the MIT license over irrational fears of the GPL being less free and "infectious",
deserves their code to be stolen by a corporation, turned into a proprietary product or service, and then having to pay for using it.

That is exactly what the MIT license is there for, what it allows you to do:
> *without limitation* the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, *sublicense, and/or sell* copies of the Software
