Yes. However in most jurisdictions it is impossible to put a new work into
the public domain so you must provide an explicit liberal copyright
licence such as CC0. http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
It is a pity there is such an erosion of the public domain due to
a profession that has a lot of moral bankruptcy in it. Are we
going to lawyer-tag everything just because lawyers say so?
Did anyone check for copyright when copying code from the PiL
book? If most people will code a short Task ABC in the same manner
using standard techniques, would you still assert your copyright
on it just because you can?
Am I going to check copyright tags of each snippet I copy into my
program from the cookbook? I think not, and I will steer clear.

All work has copyright by default whether or not it is asserted.
For example, of course I can try to copyright the regex ".*" and
loudly assert my rights to it, but it is morally repugnant to do so.
