the linked page.

Ben,
Doesn't it depend on exactly how you're using it? I think it's
non-commercial in the sense that you can't give external access to the
data. I get the impression if you intend to use it internally it's
ok. For example, as a lookup for some internal application rather
than one you're trying to sell. I used to work for a mail house and
we used it to help validate address data.

We need an updatable source of Australian postcodes for a commercial

Australia Post have this:
http://auspost.com.au/products-and-services/download-postcode-data.html,
but it explicitly prohibits commercial use.
Has anyone on the list contacted Australia Post and obtained
commercial terms, or has used another commercial postcode data source?
