The license/copying file that is actually distributed with the code still is what you have to go by.

Without license information you MUST assume full copyright sadly.

I agree. Sadly, we also run into plenty of cases distributing LICENSE files that don't match file headers, etc.

Yeah it's just unfortunate. It's effectively like attempting to distribute a broken library. People simply can't use it, and even though it may have had the workings of a good solution for many people, you're just not going to get any users/contributors. shrug
