To avoid misunderstandings that some might have. These are copyright licenses. When someone writes something that is the least bit creative, that text is under copyright. A short program/function where the code follows the technical necessities is public domain. Only individual expression gets copyright.

Without a license, you are not allowed to copy or modify a copyrighted text. These permissive licenses allow you to do things which would otherwise be illegal.
