- Q: Say that a public github project does not have a license specified. Can I use that code in my own code?
Title your request:

"Request to use DayZ Epoch content and code in (mod name here)"
- Just because it is available for download doesn't mean that it is in the [public domain](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain). In fact it is protected by the [WIPO Copyright Treaty](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIPO_Copyright_Treaty) and thus the [Berne Convention](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_copyright_agreements#Berne_Convention) even if it is downloadable and even if it doesn't include a copyright notice - copyright is attached automatically on creation.
- Q: Can I use any open source license?
- A: No, any license you try to attach to that code would be void. Since you do not own copyright on the material, you cannot assign rights over that code to others.
