I'm amazed that I haven't heard of unlicense.org before - I think it's definitely worth considering. I really don't have the need to have copyright notices maintained in what I write, so from a personal perspective it's completely compatible.
So when you release software to the public domain, do you still use the words "open source". I'm just mindful that corporate customers have reached a level of comfort around the term "open source" and may not have the same comfort around public domain.
It looks like the SQLite guys have a pretty good way of handling the situation though:
