All Rights of web-site Reserved but Software on it is free?

Could you please elaborate this point? How does GPL license gives more rights? Do you mean it protects the codes from getting incorporated into a closed source software and it allows only the author to sell his program and nobody else?

Actually, I wanted to put that notice in the footer of the site from where visitors can download my free/open source software. But, I don't want to give them any rights on the text/images/contents of the site.

So, Can't I put "All Rights Reserved" in the footer of the site but when they download the software they get a License file along with it which gives them more rights on the software to distribute, etc.?

I would be very grateful if the members here could clarify the questions in this post and the post just above this.

Thanks, in advance!
