See the article in Linux Journal recently.  You legally cannot place
anything into the public domain, you merely get to assert that the
licensing you are assigning to your copyrighted work behaves as though
it is in the public domain.  There is a subtle distinction, which
essentially means that, since you do still have the copyright,
people who retrieve the code also have the right to sue you.
After all, the "public domain" license does not limit warranties etc.
