+:Copyright is waived, and no restrictions are placed on use, modification, or redistribution. In some countries public domain is not possible, even if the publisher does not live in such a country. Normally it will still grant full rights to the user (except possibly cases in which it is not possible, like for moral rights), because the intention is clear. Nevertheless one should still have a fallback clause permitting full rights to the user. The easiest way to handle using public domain is the CC0.
