FAQ: My license is not on the list
If you've decided to publish a project under a license that is not available on the list, you can add a section on your project documentation stating the license. It's recommended to add a description of the license and relevant links.
Projects with no license
If a project is published without an Open Source license, then the International Copyright Law is applied. Anything that is shared publicly is by default copyrighted by its creator, which means that only those public projects that have explicitly added an (optional) open source license to their work, are open source.
