@shakil_tcs @eliseo01 @SuperDicq sr.ht allows nonfree licenses and no license (as there is no policy against those); https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#NoLicense
You'll without a doubt find plenty of software under no license and some software under a proprietary license in the listing; https://sr.ht/projects?page=300 (I would be glad to find many examples for you, if the source tab didn't refuse to load without arbitrary JavaScript execution).
I found one project with no license and that is therefore proprietary software (I would have found more for you if git clone wasn't so slow);
https://sr.ht/~reddbear/latte/
He also doesn't hesitate to host the nonfree "libre"boot project for example; https://sr.ht/~libreboot/lbmk/ (yes, rather than directly distribute the proprietary software, unfinished images are provided alongside with scripts that download and install proprietary software from another server - but distributing a script that installs proprietary software and instructing the user to run that script, is equivalent to distributing proprietary software personally).
I also see many projects with a LICENSE file dumped in root, but no license headers and no readme note as to the license (it could be assumed that file is there as that's the license the project is under, or it could be just as readily assumed the file is just there to look nice or to apply to one file only).
