How to use GitHub projects which indicate no license?
-
Many GitHub projects list a license, so if used for a CP article it is possible to add a link to the project and the license at top of the CP article. If no license is noticed @GitHub do they use a default license? Is it enough to add a link to the project at top of the CP article or what else is needed?

I think this is something @sean-ewington should ask to the hamsters in charge.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

If a GitHub project has no license, default copyright applies and all rights are reserved to the author.
[Licensing a repository - GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/licensing-a-repository#choosing-the-right-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.
