The mod team intentionally stays away from any legal terms and stuff because the mod is technically a copyright infriction of Tolkien Estate (and possibly Mojang). By enforcing legal requirements on users of the mod, the mod could attract unwanted attention.

The Second Age server had a copyright notice for their custom map on their wiki page a while ago, until I asked them to remove it. It would have no use in an actual legal dispute, because they already use the intellectual property of Mevans and Tolkien Estate, the latter without permission.
