When you walk by me in the street, you're implicitly reserving the right to throw me in to oncoming traffic.

In reality, despite being strictly possible, this barely ever occurs in practice. I don't think it's fair to use the term "implicit" in that way.

No-one is suggesting that you write your startup's infrastructure based on random bits of code, that's obviously a bad idea.

I'd basically consider 'no licence' as equivalent to WTFPL. It scares off big companies. That's probably what you want anyway. If anyone cares enough they'll ask you to relicense it.

No such right exists, so it is not implicitly reserved.

This is not the case, in law, with copyright.
