From YouTube's [help pages](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2797468?hl=en-GB&ref_topic=2778546):

> The standard YouTube licence remains the default setting for all uploads.

And Fair Use typically does not apply on the standard licence. See [here](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6396261?hl=en-GB&ref_topic=2778546) for specifics, and when it does apply. The other option is Creative Commons:
