 Here is a wikipedia entry on the issue:

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_rights_reserved

 I'm not sure what sort of replacement should be offered.

 Would a blank "License" field imply "no license is granted?"

 I guess it would be the responsibility of someone downloading the package
 to inspect it for a license.
