Q: What is the default license of [public GitHub repositories]?
A: All Rights Reserved; though free public repositories are for open source projects (which must be forkable and changeable).
When you create a new repository, you have the option to select an Open Source license (and a
.gitignore) to initially commit to the new repository.https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4007674/whats-the-default-license-of-code-published-at-github
Q: Do you have to include a license notice with every source file?
A: No. A LICENSE (
.txt,.md(Markdown),.rst(ReStructuredText), or similar is sufficient to indicate that the copyright is anything other than All Rights Reserved, by default.https://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/125836/do-you-have-to-include-a-license-notice-with-every-source-file/125881#125881?newreg=32f66ddfdfc04c03975d9f39a2f3a918
