Assuming you're asking for my permission as the author: yes.

If you'are asking whether it's a good idea: it isn't, see

  http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Licensing_and_Law/public-domain.html

That URL also suggests a two-line license declaration; or you might
want the expat license.  I see Reinier also mentions CC0.

Note that IANAL... doesn't Darcs have a partnership with a
not-for-profit that offers funding and legal advice?  Suggest asking
them.
