Of course nobody is entitled to a free license.

Of course nobody is entitled to a free license. But if somebody posts code on a website where most of the public content is under free licenses and the TOS explicitly dictates that you grant certain licenses to other users for free, I think we can all have a reasonable expectation that the code in question will also be under a free license. And if the expectation is broken without a clear indicator, that's a recipe for confusion.
