Reading about licenses is giving me an Office Space style case of the mondays...

I thought that the copyright and licensing stuff was to stop someone taking what you made and claiming it as their own. And then selling the product commercially for a fortune.
If you are not fussed on what people do with the design then does it really need any sort of licensing or copyright statements?
Of course i am totally uninformed when it comes to this stuff.
Maybe there is somebody reading this thread that has had to do this copyright/licensing stuff before and can give you a cheat sheet.
