IANAL, but IMHO:

Just because the license is not stated in the source files does not mean
"it has no license at all so I can do whatever I want".
I'd rather take this to mean you have to negotiate with the writer of
the code the terms on which it may be licensed. After all the writer
still has the copyright unless he explicitly chooses to make it public
domain.
