Free Software Licensing, Part 2: Beyond GPL
,----[ Quote ]
| If software is released without a license whatsoever, then users must assume
| it's copyrighted. "The recipients wouldn't have permission to share or modify
| the work," Brett Smith, Free Software Foundation licensing compliance
| engineer, told LinuxInsider. "So, if you release software without any
| license, it's not free software."
