Question about cocos-engine license usage #19004

Description

@newaowen

In this repository, there are two Cocos licenses: one is the MIT open-source license located in the root directory (https://github.com/cocos/cocos-engine/blob/v3.8.8/LICENSE.md), and the other is the Cocos Creator license agreement (https://github.com/cocos/cocos-engine/blob/v3.8.8/licenses/EDITOR_license_and_terms_en.txt). One clause in the latter conflicts with the MIT license: "Open sourced JavaScript and C++ game engine, with editor extension can be modified and customized by developer user. The modified and customized version of software can be used to develop game software and interactive rich media for end users, but not allowed to redistribute or publish game development software based on Cocos Creator's open sourced code."

Which license takes precedence for the use of this open-source repository?
