Yes, your license is self written. Use a standard license like the one I mentioned, and it’ll allow people to have better understanding of the legal consequences, such that the content is actually suitable for use in other creative works.

For example, what happens if there are conflicts in laws with the license, which jurisdiction is the default? What is the legal status of derivative works?

There’s too many unknowns, and for that reason, anyone understanding copyright law would entirely avoid using your content.

Public domain?

You can do with the project what ever you want with no restrictions.

  1. Lol, then you should have just said from the start that you don’t control the creative work rather than trying to argue.
  2. Anybody who understands copyright law will never use a self written license. Although another commenter has said the license does have a standard author. Therefore, the creative work is not merely licensed under public domain. I’m not providing legal advice, so you’ll have to do your own research.

Some countries won’t allow you to declare your work to be in the public domain (although Canada isn’t one of them). Declaring it CC-0 does about the same thing while working around that issue.
