What about the Unlicense?
Weird/confusing name, questionable legality and the website went down a while back (while mentioned explicitly in the licence...)
Use CC0 1.0 or Zero Clause BSD instead. They are more reputable, and all decent "public domain equivalent" licences are... well, equivalent in effect, anyway.
Unlicense only works in some legal systems. You cannot put your own work into the public domain in many european nations for example.

afaik some people are worried about the "legal enforceability" of the unlicense, which is funny given the point of it is to be an explicit "go do what you want" license.
