I think despite what Paul H. said this is already covered in RFC 8499:
Open resolver: A full-service resolver that accepts and processes
queries from any (or nearly any) client. This is sometimes also
called a "public resolver", although the term "public resolver" is
used more with open resolvers that are meant to be open, as
compared to the vast majority of open resolvers that are probably
misconfigured to be open. Open resolvers are discussed in
[RFC5358].
Paul V. is right that "public" is not a good term in this context.
IIRC it was introduced as part of a product name to make it sound less
monopolistic. And just "DNS" is unhelpfully unclear about whether it's a
recursive or authoritative service.
