A question regarding the license

I am not too knowledgeable when it comes to licensing, but is this repository a complete standalone implementation of StyleGAN (which holds an NC license) and that is why it is under MIT license? alternatively: how is this software MIT licensed when StyleGAN holds Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License.

I'm actually unfamiliar with licensing, but as far as I know MIT allows anyone to use the code for any reason they would like, commercial or non-commercial, and with or without modification.

So the reason I asked is because this code is clearly based off of Nvidia's officially StyleGAN code which is under the Creative Commons license (not for commercial use). what i'm asking is that if you write you own code, but its based on Nvidia's paper and "maybe" you glance at their code, can you really get away with a MIT license.
