Sorry, I totally forgot to add license information.
Does it mean the current version is under public domain ?
As per my knowledge, if you forget to add license information then the work goes to public domain.
no - according to Indian law, one has to explicitly throw the work into public domain. At present he has the copyright to the application, and since he has not licensed it and given permission for people to download, use and modify it, anyone doing so is breaking the law.
Nopes, since he has put the details of it on a public mailing list that is searchable on google, etc, he has implicitly given permission to download and use it, not ofcourse to modify it. He still owns the copyright to the code.
