The law of many countries (including Germany) has no concept of releasing 
works into the public domain, so it is safer to use a very liberal license. 
The license should also contain a warranty disclaimer for your protection. 

Our licensing policy for the KDE source repository mentions three licenses 
that fit: BSD, X11 and MIT
