See what Mike wrote -- it is a standard which must be met to get the
"Open Access Data Mark" and can be implemented in a variety of ways.

At the moment, there are no plans to localize the Open Data Commons
project -- this is especially true since CC Zero will probably/

Commons project is to produce something that works everywhere, this
of course causes some difficulty. Any thoughts on how to approve the
PDDL would be most welcome.
