Can the published budget and cost-report templates (AICP bid form, Telefilm standard budget, Screen Australia QAPE spreadsheet, HMRC claim templates) be hosted or transformed, or only linked?
Each body publishes templates (AICP Excel macro workbook updated January 2023; Telefilm Standard Production Budget Template reported as updated June 29, 2026; Screen Australia Final QAPE spreadsheet; HMRC optional expenditure-breakdown templates). The collector opened none of the spreadsheets, and the site terms read (Canada.ca, Screen Australia, AICP) restrict copying or limit use to personal non-commercial use. Evidence needed: explicit licence or permission text for each template, and the template structure to judge how much is functional form versus protected expression.
Why this is still open: The brief required verified open templates; the templates found carry no licence text and were not downloaded under the read-only rules.
