Running is probably ok, but giving to others? I am not sure. Those limitations existed since before the computer time, when the copyright law was passed. For example, even you own a book, there are certain things you can not do, like duplicate it and sell copies. In case of software, here is how the law works [0] > When you make a creative work (which includes code), the work is under exclusive copyright by default. Unless you include a license that specifies otherwise, nobody else can copy, distribute, or modify your work without being at risk of take-downs, shake-downs, or litigation. There are "fair use" terms, which allow some things without permissions -- but things like "copying the binary to company-internal repo so CI runners can pick it" really need explicit permissions if you want to be above the board.
