I just had a quick look into this and according to https://github.com/mdn/content/blob/main/LICENSE.md#licenses-for-code-examples-and-snippets the licensed code snippet (which is what the source file in question is referring to) it should be CC0 license if the code snippet was added after August 20, 2010 and if it was added before its MIT license (see https://github.com/mdn/content/blob/main/LICENSE.md#added-before-august-20-2010 ).
MIT is compatible with Apache 2 license and CCO is also compatible with Apache 2 license since its effectively public domain (see https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ and https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/CC0_FAQ#Can_anyone_use_a_work_that_is_distributed_under_CC0.3F). It would be quite shocking if we couldn't use CCO source code as the whole point of the license is to waive all copyright, ip and related rights and this is why CCO is typically used for code samples/configuration (it's to avoid problems like this) and Apache seems to agree as well, see https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#handling-public-domain-licensed-works, specifically > You can include works in the public domain (or covered by a license treated similarly) within Apache products.
