I'm sorry this is dragging on so long. It seems public domain is hard, both in the U.S. and in certain European jurisdictions. And people want a disclaimer.
I did come across the MIT license, which may be close. <http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php> Here is my non-expert attempt to adapt it, removing the condition, and changing "Software" to "Work":
"Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining this work (the "Work"),
According to http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php it should read: [...] to any person obtaining *a copy of* this work, Or is leaving out of "a copy of" intended? Anyway, I'm happy that we have a satisfying license now and can contribute to the wiki (again).
