Which means very little license or providense wise. Note that their own the 
contribution guide asks you to add a header of the original project. [1] In the 
case of that file the original project is a paid for commercial product [2] so 
I’m not sure that how MIT could even apply. I note at the bottom of the page It 
states is free for non commercial use under a CC-ANC license but that's not 
compatible license with Apache. [3]

[1] also states:
"Keep in mind the repos is a community project with a wide range on quality in 
contributions and moderation"

This has been discussed many time on many lists, we need to take care when 
accepting code from github projects. 

Thanks,
Justin
