Maybe it's better to reformulate it as a non-assert instead of a license. There's more than just the exclusive rights. To the extent permitted by law, the copyright holder of this work hereby declares he will not, now or at any time in the future, exercise any right under copyright, related rights or moral rights applicable to the work against any person or legal entity. This declaration shall be construed to the detriment of the copyright holder to the maximum extent permitted by law. Invalidity or unenforceability of any part of the above shall not affect any other part. (You can't waive your right to protest against mutilation of your literary work, and software is a literary work according to Berne and WIPO.)
