The public domain is *exceedingly* problematic. Many juristictions do 
not have any legal process for putting things into the public domain 
before the standard copyright expiry, or even prohibit the attempt to 
surrender such rights.

That's why the Creative Commons folks have their CC0 licence, which 
seems to be the most appropriate for this case.
