Please at least put a notice saying "This program is in the public domain".
No copyright notice is usually interpreted to mean all rights reserved, not
public domain, as you appear to intend. I think a copyright notice (or
explicit refusal thereof) is necessary for inclusion in many projects
(for example, Debian).

Not to open up a bigger can of licensing worms, but you link to Qt, and Qt is
GPL/QPLd. Certain interpretations of the GPL could lead to your program
needing to be GPLd. If you want more explanation on this, you can email me
off-list.
