I am not a lawyer and cannot give legal advice, but I do not believe
there are any inherent limitations on how an implementation of RFC 2853
can be licensed. Section 12 of that RFC contains a copyright statement,
but that would apply to derivative works of the RFC itself.
MIT's license can be found in the top-level NOTICE file. There are a
bunch of license statements from different contributors there, but they
are all BSD-ish in that they do not substantially restrict how software
using the libraries is licensed.
