not quite. If there is no license mentioned, then one cannot do legally anything with the code. After all, the GPL _gives_ you right that you do _not_ have without.
that is correct - but in this case he has widely proclaimed that anyone can do anything with the code, which basically means he has put it in public domain
OTOH, a bad guy can steal the code no matter what notice you put there :-)
very true - I am quite sure some bad guys have already done so ;-)
