Is the license to bwa MIT or GPLv3? #304

Each source file has an MIT license but the COPYING document says GPL v3.

I found this: http://bio-bwa.sourceforge.net/bwa.shtml#13, but fastmap.c for example is MIT, but not one of "Sorting, hash table, BWT and IS libraries are distributed under the MIT license."

bwt_gen.c is GPL'd.
