I'm not sure if you are serious of joking but the terms of MIT license are very clear. So unless they add a clause to it that the modification of this limit is forbidden (which would automatically make it a OSI-non compatible license), anybody can do what they like with it and redistribute the result as long as you abide by the terms of the license which are actually very simple. Personally I've never had a use case for OpenFaaS but if I did, it would probably be one of the first things after installing.

You can dual license software. And you can even revoke a license per customer (otherwise SaaS wouldn’t work). They can say “you only get this license IF X” and if you don’t have X, you get that license. So, if you can somehow qualify for the MIT license and relicense it, you can then redistribute it to someone who does not qualify for the original license. However, if that entity is you or a company you work for, they could argue that you never should have gotten the MIT license in the first place and take you to court over it. Now, not only are you probably on the hook for fraud, but also theft of copyrighted material with an “intent to distribute.” So, yeah. It’d be an interesting case, but hopefully I can just eat popcorn on the sidelines. I don’t want to be the one fighting that battle.
