That's the point: In some countries you cannot disclaim a copyright.

I came to the same conclusion.

Btw. many of these simple files had been created exclusively by me. 
Ulrich had concerns, that I may change copyrights without getting the 
original author involved. I have no intention to do so. On the other 
hand, as the original author I'm free to re-release the same files at 
any time under any license I wish. However, once released under BSDL, 
I'm not able to withdraw that status from BSDL.
