Software Licensing, Simply Put

One could wonder, “what is the point of having a license over software, the source code is probably already there, in the public domain” (for example published over GitHub), well there is no short answer, and probably there will be no legal problems at all if you don’t use one(most of the time, don’t take my word for it), but not having a license over software will eliminate any rights or ownership over it, and it gets only worse from there as the lines of ownership are blurred, for example: who owns the code, the writer who thought about a solution and code it into reality or the cooperation which he works for, or both. So what is exactly software licensing?
