This is not valid. A valid copyright notice has three things – the copyright holder, the word “copyright” or equivalent, and when the work was created. If it doesn’t have these three things, it is invalid, which in the USA is equivalent to no notice at all.

However copyright is automatic virtually everywhere in the world, so no copyright notice is needed for it to be copyrighted.

A license is how the copyright holder grants permission for people to copy their works in ways that would normally be forbidden by copyright. The copyright notice being invalid doesn’t affect this.
