Thats one of the many neat things about copyrights,
you have to show them in order to have them, and once you
release a code without them the cat is out of the bag,
so to speak.
IFI is to be applauded for handling their default code, for teams
to make use of and share as a community, in this manner...

I would check with IFI on that first.. Check out the bottom of any IFI page..

I would also do some more research on that before you say things like IFI doesn't have a copyright on their code..

Any work (of certain, enumerated types) receives copyright as soon as it is fixed in a tangible medium.

From here
From my understanding, unless they explicitly say they release the copyright on their code, it is NOT public domain.
