What is the default license/freedom for work found on GitHub if it doesn't contain a license?

[peteretep]

It’s copyright by the author and you are not licensed to use it

[anewhnaccount2]

Since it's been distributed to you, you implicitly are allowed to use it unless told otherwise, but possibly only for private use. Most websites, for example, are copyrighted, but you are allowed to read them.

The GitHub ToS allow users to view and fork the project on GitHub, but otherwise normal copyright rules apply.
