There are various issues with djb's counterargument, the most striking one is that the argument may hold water in the US, but it's certainly not applicable to the EU [1] or other parts of the world while a real license is. If you want to share your work, give it a license so that people know under which terms they can use it.

[1] the EU directive cited requires you to lawfully acquire the program and does not cover redistribution.
