How do I get a copyright on my program in order to release it under the GPL?

。。。。。。

The case when someone else might possibly claim the copyright is if you are an employee or student; then the employer or the school might claim you did the job for them and that the copyright belongs to them. Whether they would have a valid claim would depend on circumstances such as the laws of the place where you live, and on your employment contract and what sort of work you do. It is best to consult a lawyer if there is any possible doubt.

If you think that the employer or school might have a claim, you can resolve the problem clearly by getting a copyright disclaimer signed by a suitably authorized officer of the company or school. (Your immediate boss or a professor is usually NOT authorized to sign such a disclaimer.)

员工是不是第三者。这是重点。

当然我不是律师。

你明显误解了copyright 和GPL 的分别。
copyright, 我迟些才谈 http://www.majordojo.com/2010/07/license-vs-copyright.php先谈GPL

Private software
Private or custom software is software developed for one user (typically an organization or company). That user keeps it and uses it, and does not release it to the public either as source code or as binaries.

A private program is free software in a trivial sense if its sole user has full rights to it.

In general we do not believe it is wrong to develop a program and not release it. There are occasions when a program is so useful that withholding it from release is treating humanity badly. However, most programs are not that important, so not releasing them is not particularly harmful. Thus, there is no conflict between the development of private or custom software and the principles of the free software movement.

Nearly all employment for programmers is in development of custom software; therefore most programming jobs are, or could be, done in a way compatible with the free software movement.

有种情况，finance department出钱funding project,
由IT department 开发，finance department 用完成品.
这已经不能符合Private software的条例了。

个人建议，还是先诠释 "员工是不是第三者"。这是讨论的重点。

诠释了，以下的例子就简单了。
