Yea, the comments there are just, wrong.

People claiming since the repo wasn't public the MIT license didn't matter. But since admins contributed under that license, it 100% matters.

No reason to wait for the dust to settle. Roman noticed a removal of an MIT license he contributed to, also noticed the inclusion of user logging, so he released MIT work he contributed to. He's in the right.

It's a shame.
