Is adding in the header the license type enough to say: "my code is licensed"?

I read on various sites about licenses.
I did just put the license type in the header file (in my case a javascript file, open-source):
/*
* "codeName" "version"
* http://officialsite.com/
*
* Copyright 2012 "codeName"
* Released under the "LICENSE NAME" license
* http://officialsite.com/LICENSE NAME
*/
javascript code
...
In the same folder I leave a copy of the license. The listing of the folder looks like this:
* codeName.js
* LICENSE
In the file LICENSE is the full text of the license my code uses.
What I cannot find anywhere that says is this is enough to say my code is licensed (the case of open-source). Is something more required?
