> Is copyrighting your documentation a multi- thousand dollar expense?
No. It costs nothing -- in fact, your document is automatically
protected by copyright even if you don't use a copyright statement.
There is a fee for registering your works with the U.S. Copyright
Office, but they do NOT have to be registered to be legally protected.
Registering simply gives you more options in the event of a copyright
violation (bigger lawsuits).
