I've written a few software, some of which I would like to distribute
under the GNU GPL; the others would be freeware, but without sources.
The issues that I have are:

1> Is it necessary that I get a legal copyright in my name before I
distribute the software under the GPL ?

2> What are the procedures I should follow to get a copyright for the
other sources ?

I know nothing much about legal stuff. Could someone please help me ?
I've been struggling with this for quite sometime.

Thank you,
Prashant TR
