When no license is explicitly attached to a piece of code hosted at github (neither as a separate file, nor in the headers, nor in the readme), what is the default license inherited by the code ?

A:
There's no license in this case and you cannot claim any intellectual property of the code. It would be the same if you uploaded the content on your own site without providing any license. According to the terms:
We claim no intellectual property rights over the material you provide to the Service. Your profile and materials uploaded remain yours. However, by setting your pages to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view your Content. By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and fork your repositories.

@Darin: Thanks a lot for this (accepted ;-) ) answer. It's straight to the point.
