A weird contradiction for the licensing [0]:

I wouldn’t call it weird. But it’s unenforceable.

This kind of thing works better with GPL. General use falls under GPL. If that doesn’t suit your commercial use, contact the copyright holder for another license.

As it stands, I can use the MIT licensed project anyway I like, including handing it to a commercial entity for their use.

Thanks for pointing out, it is AI bullshit, I generated the structure of the readme and didn't look what it wrote there. I'll fix on my next push.
