So not having a license means a default one was used? Which licence is that?
2 comments

The default is that you don't have rights to code unless they are explicitly given to you. The Github ToS do specify some rights that are granted through uploading to GH, but they don't constitute any usual license, nor one that makes any of it usable to you.
"Not licensed" is the default. Its similar to what the IP industry calls "stealing".
