Yeah the article is kind of disjointed with this message. I can get behind the core idea though, which is you should always pick some license. It isn't that hard to do these days, anyone using github should easily be able to understand the basics of at least the GPL, LGPL, MIT and BSD licenses if not from reading them directly then from the very many summaries of them easily available on the web. At the very least, publicly declare your code is in the public domain. I realize there is much debate on whether public domain even legally exists as a concept anymore in many countries, but at least such a declaration acts as a strong signal you are okay with me using your code.
