in many tenders there are basic conditions which are (implicitly or explicitly) included. I would consider asking a clarifying question. I've seen many tenders where the conditions were not precise. You may also chose not to ask the question and interpret it your way and take the risk of clarifying it later, if you were wrong. > We're thinking of placing a bid on that tender and find the > requirement I quoted very suitable for us, since our habit of making > everything free software meets the requirement "out of the box". It is very cool that you only do Free Software, all the best for your bid.
