The way I understand copyright today is that the simple act of writing something down puts it under copyright. Yes, that means your grocery list is copyrighted as soon as you write it down.
So by default, it's under copyright. You don't need the "Copyright (c) 2007" in the document.

Hmmm... Reading the license at link you provided, it says:
"If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same or similar license to this one. "
So it would seem that the copy here would need to also have this license in it.
I would assume that it would be in the same place (i.e. at the bottom).
