Do you literally mean no license at all? That might be a mistake, if you're
looking for others to adopt your code.<br>
<br>
Having no license documentation in the code raises all sorts of red flags.
In my commercial or government work, I'd not allow use of any code
whose provenance, author, and/or copyright status is at all unclear.<br>
