[PATCH] Improve public domain dedication language.

[PATCH] Improve public domain dedication language.

[Richard Fontana]

A friend contacted me about the legal header in these two files,
arguing that it "makes very little sense", I think because of the
juxtaposition of the copyright notice with the public domain
assertion. Following one of his suggestions I replaced it with a
reference to CC0.
