To be fair, any professional worth his salt knows that no licensing info strongly implies copyright in most jurisdictions. Only material marked explicitly as public domain or being under a suitable permissive license is up for grabs without notice, and even then permission is usually sought in one form or another to prevent having to recall a product or spend a lot of money on remuneration afterwards.
- jwildeboer 9y agoFull ACK on that. My point is that any author/creator/maker/crafter that expects to be credited for his work should make it really easy to find the relevant information about licensing/using content. To avoid exactkly these kind of things happening. Put it in the footer or the "About me" page, add a license blurb to all your entries in a blog etc. It's just a bit of one-time work but it helps a lot in building reputation.
