How is it MIT licensed and "NON-COMMERCIAL USE ONLY". You can't have both.

This is misleading, because if you search for MIT licensed software this will show up, but it's not that. Limiting commercial use means it's not even considered open source but just source available

I believe the "non-commercial use only" is regarding the subtitles themselves, not the code. Im sure any commercial use using stolen subtitles from other services wouldn't go over well

So it means something like "Please do not use this for paid warez, I don't want DMCA this repo". Makes more sense.

But sooner or later someone will do it, I don't see that single sentence will stop a get quick buck script kiddie from an undisclosed eastern european country...

That's how I'm reading it at least

If it's licensed under MIT, you can use it under MIT. Additional marking doesn't change that. You'd have to stop licensing it under the MIT license first, either by modifying it or using something else entirely.
