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.
