And the two options I think we've been discussing are:

1. Copy the PDDL and include it with any distribution of your database.

2. Include a statement such as:

"This material is made available under the terms of the Public Domain
Dedication and License v1.0:

<http://www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/pddl/1.0/>"

Anyone have any other suggestions?

I know Jordan thinks that to be absolutely watertight you need to go
for option 1 but I'd imagine that 2 is also pretty good.
