It depends on what you mean by "lack of a license".
I think what most people (myself included) would
like to see for a demo script is "this file is in the public 
domain".  That is not exactly a "license", but it roughly
means "use this however you want without worrying about
any restrictions, not even attribution requirements".

I do not think the LGPL generally makes sense (literally) 
for such scripts:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html

If public domain is uncomfortable,
then perhaps MIT or BSD would be comfortable.
<URL:http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.html>

Of course, s/he who has the copyright chooses the license.
