Hm, that's a new point. Sofar I've thought that there are jurisdictions
where you can't actively assign your copyright to the public, because
the public is no legal entity, but I've assumed that there still is
the concept of "Public Domain". Actually I can't imagine how IP-laws
can work without this concept.
If you are right then I need to reword the license such that the user
can choose which jurisdictions concept of public domain he likes to
use. Would that still be a valid license?
