Such a header has no legal significance, so if you want to copy
this code, it is up to you to check that the author has indeed
issued an appropriate license, and/or disclaimed copyright (I
think this is possible in the US, it is not possible in many
European countries as I understand things).

Also, any answer you get to a legal question about licensing
on this forum has no legal significance (and that includes
this answer).
