My understanding is that there's no "default license", rather that in the absence of a license there's nothing permitting the exercise of any of the author-reserved rights by anyone other than the author, so copying, performing, and such is prohibited outside of fair use.
I'd be wary of looking at code not under an open source license, however, as it opens up the possibility of a claim by the author of that code that any code I wrote is actually a derivative work of that author's code.

Of course, IANAL either. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
