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.
