There is a document in the netnews source distribution called
doc/copyright.mn by Jordan J. Breslow, which goes into some
detail on copyrighting software.

In short, if you write an original work, you don't have to do anything
to have a copyright on it.  To lose a copyright on it, you distribute it
without a copyright notice.  A copyright notice takes the form:

	Copyright 1987 Andrew Tannenbaum

at the top of the document.  That is, the word "copyright," the year of
most recent modification, and the name of the person or corporation who
claims the copyright, in that order.

A c in a circle may replace the word "copyright."  A c in parens (c) may
NOT replace the word "copyright."

Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer.  I don't even play one on TV.
