Are you a lawyer with expertise in the arcane rules of copyright in every country? No, then don't think you can pull a 'license' or 'disclaimer' out of your ass that will be worth anything. People already have done the homework, either use CC0 (or MIT/BSD/ISC license) or ignore the problem and just say 'public domain' and to hell with people living in countries with terminally braindead copyright laws. uriel
