The monitization bit is the "license" for use of the code. The MIT license applies to the source code itself, not the execution of it.

MIT allows you to: "use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software". That's it.

Thank you. I’m realising my understanding of licenses was inaccurate and that I really ought to scrutinise projects more thoroughly.
