I've decided to ship this project with the GPL3 license to start. The closest project to this is GNU Make, which is licensed with this same license and as far as I'm aware that's never been too much of a restriction for that project.

The extensions will remain MIT licensed though.

This license is quite rare in the JS ecosystem currently, so if there is interest in the project there may well be questions about this.

Creating this issue to handle any feedback. The licensing decision can be changed at any point in future. By starting with MIT the converse isn't true though.

Closing as there is currently no action-item, but discussion can be picked up at any time.
