Dataset Statistics

License Information

The articles here are derived from lex.dk and only include articles with a CC-BY-SA 4.0 licens as defined in the articles. See this article for an example. However we recently discovered the following subsection in their licensing:

Licensen gælder for de enkelte artikeltekster. Du finder information om licens i bunden af alle artikler på lex.dk. Licensen gælder ikke for hele værker, som fx Den Store Danske Encyklopædi eller Trap Danmark. Du må altså ikke downloade og genbruge alle artikler med fri licens, fordi dette vil være en gengivelse af en stor del af et værk.

We are currently examining to what extent it is possible to share this work and until further clarification have chosen to take it down.
