Wanna license my programm !

Hello to all !

I have a question , maybe some of you can help me with it.I began , a few month's ago , working on a C project . I made it to write the source code for a chat server and a interactive client.I made tham in C using TUI mode ( text user interface ) .Every user , all around the world , can connect to my server , with my interactive client from Linux shell and chat with connecting user , send PM's ..

It's not a big deal , just a working project.

Question : How can I license , this source code ( client + server ) , on GNU/GPL , to be an open source program ? If anyone know ?

Cheer's !

It's basically a matter of simply including the proper licensing notifications in your source code files and distributed with your installation files, and then enforcing the license when you find that someone has misused it. Some licenses also require an registration process with a licensing organization.

Make sure you know the difference between GPL, LGPL, BSD, and MIT licensing and true public domain so you'll pick the one that best suits your frame of mind.
