Not sure where you got that idea, but in every western legal system I
know of the opposite is true. If no license is given, then there is
none. Copyright is automatically granted (and applying a license
doesn't alter copyright in general), and by default all rights are
retained by the author. I very much doubt the author of this
particular image would ever exercise their rights to sue, but it is
worth mentioning since many people use stuff from Google images or
whatnot in games.

That is, if really there is no copyright on it.
Where can i find the author & exact license of the pygame snake
graphic ? It's the logo on top of the www.pygame.org website and
can be
downloaded at http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml but i see no
license
information. I want to put the snake graphic as sprite in some
python /
pygame tutorials.
