A quick question - I am developing a rather large project which I intend to
make available for use by the general public.  What is necessary to use the
GNU General Public License for protection?  I.E.:

|    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify   |
|    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 as      |
|    published by the Free Software Foundation.                             |

Do I just include this header (plus other suggested info) in my source code,
plus the suggested message at run-time?  Or are there other steps that need
to be taken for this software to be protected under this license?

Is this license what's known as the GNU Copyleft?

Just wondering...I'm 'gnu' to this free software business... :-)
