Legally no explanation is required.  Practically, there are too
many people on the net who take anything without explicit warnings
as "free to do whatever they want with."  Photographers and artists
have had particular problems with people "collecting" their works
and not realizing they were doing anything inappropriate.

Presumably it extends to schematics and source code as well.

IMHO, declaring one's intentions toward "projects" is always a
fine idea.  Some people won't pay attention, but some will.
