US copyright law will always treat a vague license (or no license) as proprietary. That does not mean you can't do something the license vaguely implies is allowed, only that the law will probably side with the copyright holder when they decide the vague implication does not actually allow it.

Note about GPL version 3.
Due to language of Section 7 of the GPL 3, license-vague and license-contradictory are very unlikely ever to apply to GPL 3 licensed software.
