International law recognizes implicit copyright, not implicit licensing. If you are the author then you are the implicit copyright holder, unless you have signed a contract assigning the copyright to someone else.

Somebody else can do it, of course, but only with your written permission; otherwise it would be a crime. -- cd /usr/ports/sysutils/life make clean
