So there is no need to worry about this.But what about the game itself? It's not just the name of the file and functions, but the Tetris game itself is "subject to the registered copyrights of Tetris Holding LLC" (according to http://www.tetris.com/).
I think there are some useful notes about this on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris#HistorySee the end of the History section. It seems like you can not copyright a game, but I do not understand the details there.
