It isn't required, but a statement about the license status needs to be
somewhere in the distributed tarball. If possible, every source file
should carry a header that explains under which terms you can use it.
Please read the GPL / LGPL files in /usr/share/common-licenses/, they
explain how to put your own software under a license.
In this case, I'd simply bug the upstream author until he properly
licenses his works.
