Thank you for your replies. It's a pity that properly releasing something in the public domain is apparently so difficult. The intent here was to make sure that anyone be free to copy anything from this file and use it in derivative works without restriction since it is a demo for a library. Unfortunately, as I feared and you confirmed, the licensing statement is technically incorrect.
So, it would be better, and probably possible, to relicense. I thank you for the suggestions of the Apache Software Foundation License 2.0 and CC-0. However, both of these licenses are a pain to read for "normal" human beings, even if other very common licenses are much worse in this respect (and I know debian-legal readers like such mumbo-jumbo :-). For this reason, I am more inclined to consider using BSD-2, BSD-3 or WTFPL (yes, I know the license can only be changed with permission of all copyright holders).
