I agree, there are a lot of random pieces of software and documents
that aren't released with any license.

Just a quick reminder though, strictly according to U.S. copyright
law, anything that hasn't released itself under another license is a
copyrighted work, not public domain.

I was going to point that out. You can't assume that a random piece of
software or document that is released without a license is public domain.
Most countries have mandatory copyright (I don't know the proper term for
it).
