According to my attorney, it is not necessary for the author and date 
are identified.  Basically, unless you created it, it belongs to 
someone else.  Period.

And this makes sense.  If it were otherwise, all kinds of things 
(music that is not attributed, writing that is not attributed, images 
that are not attributed) would be open to copy and use which clearly, 
they are not..
