In any case, "no objections" and certainly "no response" is not the same as "being granted permission". You can not take silence as a positive outcome to these questions, unless you're on a deathwish to get sued.
You need *explicit* permission of the author in order to use any code in a way not covered by the license under which that code is distributed.
