The moment something is written, made (etc) it is automatically copyrighted, as long as (obviously) it's your original work.

 

As for what license you should using, research into it. There are many different variations on some licenses and some are better for other things. I've only ever licensed things as open source and I generally use the BSD License, or the MIT License. They are simple, compared to the GPL which is quite long and detailed. If you plan on getting serious you're best hiring a legal professional to discuss it with you, as there are many things to consider.

 

Just remember, I'm not a professional so you'd be best of getting the advice from someone who really knows what they're talking about.
