My point was that even when there is no copyright notice anywhere, legally means that nobody except the author is allowed to use the code. At least in The Netherlands. Other countries may require an explicit copyright notice. Of course having an explicit copyright notice may help when there is a copyright dispute. When there is no license, there can also be no license violation, but default copyright rules apply when there is no license. You only need to license something when you want to deviate from standard copyright rules.
