[License-discuss] Short permissive no attribution required open source license

[Sagar]

Hi,

Is there a short permissive OSI approved license that doesn't require
attribution?

The popular permissive open source licenses like MIT and BSD require
attribution. It would be good to have a license where that is not required.
There are many of us who are happy with attribution but don't want to
legally enforce it. Here is an example of a popular library using public
domain dedication with a fallback license:

https://github.com/nothings/stb/blob/master/stb_vorbis.c

I propose a public domain dedication with a BSD-style fallback without the
attribution requirement:

"This software is in the public domain. Where that dedication is not
recognized, redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with
or without modification, are permitted. No warranty for any purpose
is expressed or implied."

Is the public domain dedication redundant? Will it suffice to just say
"redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
modification, are permitted" ?

Thanks,
Sagar
