[@OKau] Tenders data no derivatives?????

[Steven De Costa]

The material in the public domain should be fine. As per the notice:

   - You do not have to comply with the license for elements of the
   material in the public domain or where your use is permitted by an
   applicable exception or limitation
   <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/au/#>.
   - There are commercial aggregation services which recontext public
   tenders for discovery. Perhaps take a look at the way they do it...

Also I suspect you'd be able to get clearance if you contacted the platform
admins. I'm happy to help argue your request :)

Cheers,
Steven
