Take a look at CC0.  The intent of that license is to make a public
domain declaration in jurisdictions where doing so makes sense, and to
give the effect of a public domain declaration in jurisdictions where
it does not:

https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/

The FAQ linked from that page contains some boilerplate text you can
use in your files.
