If you were an American company, and you picked
up some software with a public domain notice,
you would not have to worry about being sued in
an American court.

Doesn't change anything. No need to write the word.

What I meant is that in my own work I say that it
is public domain, but you can use CC0 if you wish
(that's what I write).

That covers anyone who thinks I can't put my work
into the public domain.

Zero attempt to claim copyright. Every attempt to
make it clear of copyright.
