In my view, you can choose donation or ads!

I have developed an application using GTK+3.10. What copy-write protection
can you (GTK+) provide for me. I have been told that copywrite is free and
automatic and that to protect the software from piracy I need sufficient
money to prove prior usage in a court of law.  I don't see how the
requirement of including my source code in the package will allow for
successful commercialisation when someone can just simply copy the
source-code.  I have no problems about acknowledging GTK+ for providing the
GUI development platform and for helping with problems in coding, etcetera.
Without adequate protection this requirement (including the source-code)
renders GTK+ useless as far as any kind of commercialisation is concerned,
please enlighten me on this matter.
