Actually you would need to add both copyright and licence. Copyright is as simple as adding a line to each source file: Copyright (C) 2010, Your Name <y...@email.address> Licence is also pretty simple. If you choose the GPL, add this text near the beginning of each source file: This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details. You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. See http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html for more information. Other licences have similar instructions on how to apply them to new programs. You will also need to bundle a copy of the licence itself in your source package.
