I do not know if this is the correct place to ask this stackexchange. Note: If a moderator can move to the correct place (if I am in the inappropriate site SE)

I read on various sites about licenses. I did just put the license type in the header file (in my case the javascript file - open-source).

/*
 * "codeName" "version"
 * http://officialsite.com/
 *
 * Copyright 2012 "codeName"
 * Released under the "LICENSE NAME" license
 * http://officialsite.com/LICENSE NAME
 */

 javascript code
 ...

In the same folder I leave a copy of the license. The listing of the folder looks like this:

* codeName.js
* LICENSE

In the file LICENSE would leave my code uses.

What nobody says is if it is enough to say my code is licensed (the case of an open-source). Or is something more required?

Sorry for the bad English. Thanks.
