No, unlicensed code is the DRMed one - you're implicitly stating that you reserve the right to impose restrictions or sue any of your users.
CC0 or MIT actually releases them from those restrictions.
- esotericn 8y agoWhen 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.
