No. When you can read a book, it doesn't mean you have rights to distribute its text or create derivative work.
"What happens if I don't choose a license?
…Generally speaking, the absence of a license means that the default copyright laws apply. This means that you retain all rights to your source code and that nobody else may reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from your work."
