The project has no licensee, so it's effectively all-rights-reserved. To make the code usable by others, you should select a license, but be sure you understand that with many licenses anyone can copy/fork/rename/translate/extend/repack the project.

Don't be creative and stick to a standard license like BSD/MIT/LGPL/GPL and a few more. They are not equivalent. Take your time to select the one you prefer for your intentions and your definition of open/free. https://www.google.com/?q=mit+bsd+lgpl+gpl

Explicit permission to take things from it is a license, even if potentially an undesirably ambiguous one.
