My guess is that everybody is assuming, with no actual evidence, that
the code is in the public domain.

(Maybe they think that because the author put the code up with no
license, that makes it public domain?  It doesn't.  Or maybe they
think that because "Z0MBiE" is a "hacker name", the author probably
doesn't intend to enforce copyright?  That might be so, but again, I
have seen no real evidence for that so far.)
