In the Language Bank of Finland, the the terms and conditions specified in the End-User License Agreement of an individual resource are usually based on an agreement between the Language Bank, the rightholder of the resource, and possibly also the Data Controller of the resource (cf. the template for deposition license agreements). Some resources may have been previously published online under a public license.
Since 24.5.2022, the Language Bank of Finland applies the license template version 2.1. For comparison, the descriptions of the corresponding terms and conditions of the previous licenses are shown in their separate columns on the right side, on a grey background.
