including the author would also be wrong, as the original author did have some completely different text.... would not know how to handle without a multi-line disclaimer. still i agree with your critique some how.

If no license is indicated in an artwork/software the implied license (it is not required the indicate a license) is "All rights reserved". This post counts as a derivative work, the author have the right to allow/disallow it.

Outside of legal wording, when making a derivative work it's nice to at least give attribution to the original artist or citing the source of the original work.
