of stuff, what can I say...)

This is interesting: http://250bpm.com/blog:82

Shows a graph of decline of software published on GitHub with any
license at all.

I think a repo needs to make its users choose a license--any
license--but should not publish publicly until a license has been chosen.

The "default" is a suggestion for convenience. Defaults do have
implications for what choices people make, but right now the "default"
is "no license at all" (ambiguous to its community and legally proprietary).
