I'm trying to determine the license status of some of the files I use on a daily basis, and I realized that the license and author for the following file is not specified:

*

I used this file as the starting point for my own version, which can be found here:

*

I'd like to add a license boilerplate to this file, but before I can do so I need to know who wrote it and under what license they are making it available. My hope is that it is [public-domain/creative-commons-zero](http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/) or some other permissive license like MIT or BSD.

Under copyright law in the United States, other people can't (without exposing them to legal liability) use any work written since 1923 without permission from the author. You should consider adding a license boilerplate to all of the files in your project, or at least add a COPYING file at the root of your project. Posting it on github doesn't imply permission of any kind.
