How to release project under public domain?

Question

I'm currently working on project, which is going to demonstrate how widgets can be done with Context Framework. I will also publish the source code.

In this case I want to give users as much freedom as possible, so that they can freely copy-paste, modify and also relicense whatever code they reuse.

So, how do I mention that in the project? Are the some ready-made licences etc. that are suitable for this?

Answer 1

The Creative Commons CC0 license should suit your purposes. It's public domain made as explicit and universal as possible.

Answer 2

First of all, make sure that the license of Context Framework is not binding you.

If yes, then you need to comply to it and release on the same or compatible license.

If not, just add a comment on top of your source files that says something like /*the following code is released in public domain (where applicable) */. People will ignore it anyway.
