I suggest reading up on Copyright law. There are numerous free links out there with lots of stuff for 'newbies' to the field.

The number one problem you have is your copyright notice:

"all else" seem a bit vague. Especially considering that just down below PHP-Nuke does the same thing with 'all rights reserved'.

Your essentially using a free code system to make something.
It wasn't something you paid for (unless you got ripped off), so basically you have no claims. You don't hold a liscense for it. That at least is my understanding.

If you really don't want people to copy you, you should at least put a few countermeasures up... like set up a simple javascript that prevents right clicking so people can't "view source".
