However, a proper license should be adopted and I shall look into that later.

That's more of a technicality of having your project hosted on GitHub than a intrinsic property of the project itself, but I get what you're saying. I'm pretty sure this line in the ToS is mostly GitHub trying to dodge copyright lawsuits in case the project owner... forgot to put a license :P

I think it's mostly Github not wanting to prevent users from forking the projects missing a license. Many of Github features are about linking repos between them, and workarounds would be worse. Uh, anyway, I won't detail any further my thinking but you can imagine the problems.
