There's not much to interpret: not under any license means the default copyright terms apply - meaning any distribution is forbidden.

Oh wait - if he's still in Sweden, isn't it different? Don't you actually need a copyright notice attached for the code to be copyrighted?

No, copyright in Sweden is by default. Copyright notices are optional, not mandatory.
