How to copyright your script?

Question

[fernardo]

Hi everyone,

I want to know how to license a tool that intend to publish it. For example, should I put a copyright.txt file inside my tool folder and paste the content of GNU GPL inside it? enough? no registration required elsewhere or any complicated procedure?

Thank you
