Or contact an attorney that deals with these kind of things. Remember that laws vary from country to country- what may be allowed in one may not be enforced in another.
For example:
The following is based on legal information obtained in reference to one country's laws.
Quote: "Copyright does not protect the idea for a game, its name or title, or the method or methods for playing it. Nor does copyright protect any idea, system, method, device, or trademark material involved in developing, merchandising, or playing a game. Once a game has been made public, nothing in the copyright law prevents others from developing another game based on similar principles. Copyright protects only the particular manner of an author’s expression in literary, artistic, or musical form."
The following is based on another country's laws.
Quote: "Legally you do not need to do anything to copyright your creation. Copyright automatically exists whenever a creative work is fixed (written down, painted, drawn, typed out etc) and this protection includes computer code, graphics and audio, as well as the actual finished computer game in executable format. Although you automatically have legal protection without any registration you can mark your work with © followed by your name/company name and the date in order to warn others. In addition to the standard protection provided by copyright laws some countries provide additional protection if you register a copyright (this is true in the USA)."
As you can see, it will vary. You need to understand A) the license and rights of the software you use; B) the laws for each country you plan to distribute in.
