   Registration is not necessary in any Berne Convention country.
   Besides, he seemed to be asking if he had to register the license,
   not his copyright.

Not all countries are part of the Berne Convention.

   He seems to be looking for a non-free license.

Then we should convince him/her to use a free license instead of
convincing him/her to do something that is ethically and morally
wrong.
