To quote Lawrence Rosen:

“... there is no mechanism for waiving a copyright that merely subsists, 
and there is no accepted way to dedicate an original work of authorship 
to the public domain before the copyright term for that work expires. A 
license is the only recognized way to authorize others to undertake the 
authors’ exclusive copyright rights.”
