No need to register. You need to include the full copy of the GPL with 
the program(s) though (usually as a file called COPYING I think is what
most use). And in the top of each file, a shorter version of it (if you
find any decent GPL program, you'll see an example).

However at ...

you might find the instructions a little more useful (and complete :-) ).
