I believe that is the intention. For some reason, I can find very
little information on public domain grants in England and lawyers
advise against trying to do it. Further, 2-clause BSD is just plain
wordy for such a simple idea. It has the air of being written for
"furren lores" which may even hide weaknesses for English use.
The Union for the Public Domain web site (www.public-domain.org) has
no FAQ about this. Oddly, their site is not public domain (or even
free software).
I thank this list's members for their indulgence. I will amend the
version I use in light of the comments and tell others who use similar
ones.
