[open-government] Open RFPs

Hello folks

I'm looking to understand how to best help government CIO's make other
parts of their information open source, specifically their RFPs.

It's not data or an API, it's simply the legalese text of contracts, but
it's still a taxpayer-funded asset, so how might they achieve the same
thing? Ie. enable it to be freely distributed and reused?

Would they need to tie it to an open data type licence before they could
do so? Could they reuse some of these?

Any thoughts on how best to achieve this much appreciated,

Cheers,
