I'd like to thank everyone who's commented so far. I've revised my
initial statement to better reflect what I want for the software:
The authors of this software dedicate their work to the
public domain.
We recognize that many countries around the world do not
recognize a direct dedication to the public domain in
their copyright laws. For this reason, we also grant
unconditional, non-revocable permission to anyone who
obtains a copy of this software to use, modify, and to
redistribute it without limitation.
Based on my continued reading of US law, it should be legal and is a
bit clearer than my prior statement in my opinion.
