Depending on your location this could be not possible and a license or a restriction is enforced by - for example - the local law. (This ignores more complex cases like a license is not transferable between law-structures. Common case in Germany is that "Public Domain" is not possible like known in many other countries. A German developer could never choose this license, even if he declares so) So a project without defined license could have a license (without knowing it) or could be restricted by something. I would prefer UNKNOWN. Greetings, Torsten
