Kaitai Looks interesting and rich. Thou I don’t get the license gpl3 for the compiler and MIT for the runtime, you can use the runtime without the compiler ? Why split them up licensing wise

I haven't used it but I think the idea is that if they want the tool to be used in proprietary software; the runtime needs to be license-compatible with anything, but the compiler can be any license, so may as well be one that ensures the compiler will always be open.
