No, I mean I want to release code under the same conditions as the WTFPL license, but with less offensive wording. I can't do this without creating a new license. Every other license seems to have a silly "this notice may not be removed" clause. I'm only including a license for the benefit of the users, not for myself. With all the stuff people say about how there are legal ambiguities with public domain, I just find it unbelievable that there's no "formalized public domain" license.

No. Googling for it produced no hits. Creating yet another license is unacceptable.
