He has a page saying what you are allowed to do, legally, for any
copyrighted software, without a licence.

I'm not even sure that ezmlm and ucspi-tcp are distributable at all.

As far as I understand, unless a licence is given, all rights are
reserved.
I didn't know this when I started writing programs, so later on I had
to put a blanket statement on my web site saying all my programs that
were written before a certain date are public-domain. I hope it will
suffice; it'd suck to have to revise all my programs just to put in a
public-domain notice.
