If you want to achieve something like "public domain", but for all countries, 
there is the CC0 (Creative Commons Zero), which basically says that the author 
grants all rights that the law allows him/her to give away [1]:

http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/

Cheers,

[1] The problem with donating to the "public domain" is that in many European 
countries the law explicitly says that the moral right cannot be waived by the 
creator. So, the CC0 says that the creator "only" grants everything he is 
allowed by law.
