Making code public -- What steps to take? GPL?

Hi, I am in the process of writing a simple but useful plugin for a blogging application.... Long story short, I want to give-back to the community (i.e. free plugin), but would like to make an attempt at retaining some credit if folks port/use to/in other scripts/blogs/cms apps. Any tips or links ya'll could share with me? Anyone have any /* comment blocks */ I could put in my code? Something like this, for example: /* ** THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY ** OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT ** LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,

** FITNESS    FOR    A    PARTICULAR    PURPOSE   AND

** NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR ** COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES ** OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF ** CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF ** OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR ** OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE. */ Different verbiage, of course... Or, should I just not worry about this? Lol! I hope I am phrasing my question right... I have been up all night coding, so my brain is kinda mushy right about now. :D Many TIA's!
