All you *have* to do is include the notice in the program.  But in order
for it to have a chance of standing up in a court of law, you'd have to
register the copyright with the US Government.  It cost US$10 -- last
time I checked.  Just look up "copyright" (or something to that effect)
in the "blue" (government) pages of the phone book.  Failing that you
may get directory assistance (1-411 here, not sure if its different
elsewhere).

If this isn't in the FAQ (have read some of it, but not *all* of it,
haven't had time to), then it should be.
