Nope, you're not entitled to anything. A license is just a license. You're free to use the code. If the releaser gives you no communication about expectations, then it's your choice to use it or not. They're obligated to give you anything, not even the time of day. Enjoy your free code, or don't.
And yet, _most_ people have some interest in treating other people respectfully. Which is the only reason the open source ecosystem works at all.
