Licensing question
I noticed that the licensing for this project has the following extra condition added on top of the MIT:
People who habitually steal code are prohibited from using it.
Is adding such a condition on top of the MIT allowed (without renaming the license?). Also what is the legal definition of habitually stealing code? Is the modified MIT license of this repository compatible with other licenses such as the GNU (A)GPL
Thank you for bringing this up. Just to clarify, this is merely a reminder to comply with the terms of the open-source license and does not alter the license itself. I added this note because I have repeatedly encountered this kind of behavior—specifically, failure to retain the original copyright notice and license—from the same individual.

Sad to hear that. I would like to stand behind you.

Even so, I'm still not sure directly modifying the LICENSE file directly like this keeps the MIT/APACHE as a valid license unless you already asked a lawyer to weigh in?
The addition emphasizes the existing content in MIT/APACHE. As far as I can see, it is entirely the same.
