As I have understood there may be various legal interpretations of
"free from copyright" or "public domain" in european countries so it
would be great to have some professionals from the legal domain have a
look at what it would say.

It should be fairly straight forward to create a page (like
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/) with a short text, define
a permanent URL pointing to that page (preferably through purl.org in
the unlikely event that OKF disappears) and launch a competition for a
visual symbol.
