Then it's actually not licensed to anyone, and is thus illegal to use by anyone (unless you say otherwise, of course.) You don't have to put the © symbol into something for it to be copyrighted (although a legal copyright notice, meaning "©", "Copyright", or "Copr", the year, and the owner -- see the "Copyright" header of this message -- is recommended.)
