What they should've done is to separate the MIT, which only covers the source code, and their "Personal License" that governs the compiled product or software.
The compiled release is for Personal use only. But the source code is MIT.

Re: https://waf.moe/article/system.privacy-policy You'll have to update the section for children access.
It has to be specific where it is hosted, also add the location of the admin as the admin's local laws also apply. #TINLA #IANAL

Otherwise, would you put your trust on someone you haven't truly vetted yourself personally that they truly won't exercise their Moral Rights in case they came from a country were Moral Rights are heavily guarded by their Copyright Law?

2. only the Author/Creator is granted Moral Rights, and
3. an Author/Creator is defined as a natural person, then

And even if we use 0BSD, MIT-0, CC0, and other similar […]
imo, A re-education and marketing campaign would've been a better first move. It was a 20 year old license. And, it didn't say what ppl thought it said.

I still believe the licensing changes their team was advancing were pretty business standard. If only they hadn't fumbled the roll-out. 20/20 hindsight, but if they'd skipped the attempted backroom deals & run an education campaign first, we'd all be perfectly happy with OGL 1.2.307a by now
