I wish licensing was emphasized more in this discussion.
Including a license is the #1 reason myself and many other people stray away from code on the internet. I won't touch a project if it's not stated properly.

You need to follow the terms of the license you wish to use (my comment on the matter: http://blog.nig.gl/post/48848761220/just-saying-something-is...)
