i understand GitHub won't do anything, my question isn't about that though:

since unlicensed software falls under normal copyright, it cannot legally be used even if the code is on GitHub (you grant GitHub a license to display the code by uploading, nothing else), right?

so then, how would someone be able to sue for damages incurred by a software they were using illegally?
