If you created the code while working for a company they still
might have a legal handle to claim the code. (Depending on your
local law and the contract you have had with them.) If they can
legally claim it, your putting the code under Public Domain
would have been illegal. So retrospectivly code might become
non PD again.

I am not sure who would be liable, if anybody could be help liable
at all it will be you.

IANAL, Bernhard
