I would change to: "... unless explicitly licensed and stated otherwise."

This is fair, unambiguous and similar in concept to the US copyright - 
you write a tune, you automatically own the copyright, you're not 
required to file for ownership. I think it should always be the case.

(i guess we could also talk about the mechanical and publishing rights 
as well. But, it seems that it would follow the same policy.)
