Question about licensing a project under GPL

Hi all. I've been working on a bit of a summer project and it's nearing completion. I thought I might aswell share it with other people, and the topic of licensing crossed my mind. I'm just wondering about whether i'm doing everything right so that I can register the project on sourceforge.

It consists of a single 2000 line BASH script. That can be licensed under the GNU GPL right?

I read the stuff on the GNU website and all it seems I need to do is put a copyright comment at the top of the BASH script and supply a copy of the GNU GPL with the tar.gz. Is that all there is to it?

Thanks!
