most stupid idea ever. if you're in the software industry and wish to make your
source public you should at least know the potential backdraws of your
country's IP laws (regardless how stupid they may sound) and act properly to
make sure every single person using your stuff might not face any problems.

as you can't really pass your copyright in germany you should definitely base
your publication on some means of 'contract'/license to protect the one using
your code from you going mad and coming after him with some creepy lawyer. this
said, you best use something that has already gained some attention in a german
court.
yes, my answer is based on a purely german-centric view.
