The license is pretty restrictive:

I wouldn't look at the code.

When they posted it to GitHub, they explicitly granted permission for other users to view the code. It's the "License Grant to Other Users" section of the GitHub TOS. You'd be OK to view it even if it had no license at all. That license is not the thing that's allowing you to view it, so you don't have to be particularly concerned about the contents of that license if you're just looking at the code on GitHub.
