Sorry;  I didn't actually inspect the link I sent previously
to verify that it had no clicks at all to

http://cr.yp.to/softwarelaw.html

which says, once you legally obtain software, you may modify it,
if you have the time and inclination.

So that's the "default license" that is present without any license
grant being explicitly made on the part of an IP owner who for
instance uploads something to CPAN without specifying a license
for it.
