The gotchas of attribution and use seem to be ok here, although IANAL. The import list is the place to ask these sort of questions.

I see no grant of rights.
A copyright statement is not required for copyright protection on a work created since 1989, so copyright protection is automatic. In the absence of an explicit grant of rights, no rights are granted. Leaving only Fair use / Fair dealing rights to the data.
Is there a grant of rights elsewhere? It should really be in the license. They should really publish under PDDL.
