@esm@wetdry.world Just sharing a link to the official GitHub documentation for the curious: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/licensing-a-repository#choosing-the-right-license
To cite the page:
```
You're under no obligation to choose a license. However, without a license, the default copyright laws apply, meaning that you retain all rights to your source code and no one may reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from your work.
```
**BUT**
```
If you publish your source code in a public repository on GitHub, according to the Terms of Service, other users of GitHub.com have the right to view and fork your repository.
```
Now they was having the right to fork, but they was having no right to commits anything into there own version if I can understand correctly.
