   Two open points on the checklist. BSD is sometimes different than Linux. You   
   should dig deeper what the real requirement for *nix OS is and if FreeBSD can   
   fulfill it.   
      
   Open Source without licence means there is no written contract and the common   
   consequence is that standard local law will apply. In some countries law there   
   does not exist a software definition for "open source" or "public domain".   
      
   To be honest i have no idea if there is a github "default" license that   
   applies to software without own licence automatically. If your plan is to go   
   international then you should re-think about useing a known or creating an own   
   licence.

   This would keep your business out of the line of licence fire.
