Putting code into the public domain still leaves the author exposed to
liability in certain jurisdictions. For code that is to be made as
free as possible while protecting the author, the 2-term BSD license
or the X11 license (attached) are usually preferred as they include a
liability disclaimer.
it's too bad liability even has to be a concern, but it should be
addressed. i'm not opposed to going with these licenses. all code
submitted would probably just 'agree' to be placed under a license like
this. the code maintainer can hopefully just tag it with a 1 or 2 line
header that declares the license and a link to it. i would just just
#from the Pygame Cookbook by <authorname>
#public domain with no warranty, http://pygame.org/helpyourself.txt
changing the last line to whatever is best and add an url perhaps?
Yes, IMO that would be best.
