Yeah, I prefer the other one, especially as this one seems US-specific. 
I shall write it as:

"The contributor releases this work into the public domain. This applies 
worldwide.

"In case this is not legally possible:

"The contributor grants anyone the right to use this work for any 
purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by 
law."
