I found some code on the web. The web page doesn't make any mention of a license, and the download doesn't make any mention of a license. What are the license implications of using that code in the US? Is there such a thing as an implicit license?

There's no such thing as an implicit license.
If the code doesn't have a license, it is still copyright.
That depends on your country's laws.

There's some code on CodeProject that's already OSS under the CodeProject license .
I've contacted the author several times on his blog, but he's not responding to any request for putting the code on CodePlex (or any email at all).
Since it's OSS anyway...

We are using recursive make in our project. We also use a commercial embedded compiler (diab) with a FlexLM license.
We are currently adding license-borrowing as a dependency on the top-level targets in each directory.
Like this:

Now the license is only borrowed in the top.
The solution was to look at MAKELEVEL.
The license, then calls make with arguments, and after make returns returns the license? You could check wrapper is used.

Therefore if you use a KMS key on an MSDN media for example it won't work, unless the license is issued.
The license keys are hardcoded against the distribution medium.
As far as I am aware No.

For example, if I use some open source code that is licensed with an MIT license in my (commercial) project, does my project in turn have to be under the MIT license or do I have to distribute the MIT license or anything like that?

It depends on the license....
In the case of the MIT license, the text of the license reads (emphasis mine):

I'm pretty sure you don't have to list which specific piece it is (for most open source licenses anyway).
Just say "This package includes software with the following licenses:" and then list any other licenses.

If you interact with GPL software, you don't need to GPL your code in the same way as my GIMP-drawn image isn't GPLed .
Check the plugin API.
If you use/include/link-to any code that is under GPL, you need to publish it under GPL .
