I need to know if Osu has an MIT license or something simular, due to a contract on an computer I'm borrowing.

The contract states that the one who is borrowing the computer needs a legal permit to download it commercially.

I do not remember the exact specifics of the contract.

Edit: It has an MIT license, I just found out.

i'd be more concerned with all the pirated music you'll be downloading via maps if it's a company machine

The music is not machine ware, so I won't be able to get fined for it (By the one's I'm borrowing the computer from).

machine ware?
it's still unlicensed media in the form of code you're executing
You could just install osu! in like sandboxie if you wanted to keep no trace of it on the OS

Everything contributed to the website is technically under a MIT license, as long as the maker of the song doesn't want to withdraw it from the site. (This means the maps and the files that you are downloading)

Since the thing that you are downloading is under a MIT license until it is not, there should not be any legal repercussions.
If someone want's to remove it from the site, I would probably need to delete it as well, but I doubt that I would be sued over something that several thousand people have downloaded whilst it was still legal, me including.

wouldn't worry about being sued so much as covering your ass while you're using a company machine
i just wouldn't play ouss on it

osu!lazer is MIT, osu stable is not.

Either way, I don't recommend installing non work related software on your company machine.
