Statement of Ownership
As of March 1, 1989, the copyright warning does not have to appear for a work to be legally copyrighted. However, it is a good idea to remind people of your copyrights by including a statement such as:

or

and
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Consider adding a statement that grants permission or restricts use, such as:
- "Permission is given to copy this work provided credit is given and copies are not intended for sale."
- "Use or inclusion of any portion of this document in another work intended for commercial use will require permission from the copyright owner."
