I'm going to burst your bubble but GitHub doesn't allow non open source licenses on public repositories.

Just ask winamp lol

Edit: not open source, but at least forkable and viewable

Winamp had a bunch of other issues with code they didn't own being stuck in that repo. Github encourages FOSS licenses, but doesn't require it.

https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/licensing-a-repository

You're under no obligation to choose a license. However, without a license, the default copyright laws apply, meaning that you retain all rights to your source code and no one may reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from your work.

...

If you publish your source code in a public repository on GitHub, according to the Terms of Service, other users of GitHub.com have the right to view and fork your repository. If you have already created a repository and no longer want users to have access to the repository, you can make the repository private. When you change the visibility of a repository to private, existing forks or local copies created by other users will still exist. For more information, see "Setting repository visibility."
