Verdict

A Dutch seismology source for induced-seismicity monitoring, alongside orfeus-eida-fdsn. Licence: Custom (default CC BY 4.0, may vary by dataset): the RDSA portal says "The license might depend on the dataset and be specified in its access data tool(s)." and "Otherwise Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) is applied." The portal page contains no ban on automated access. KNMI's separate keyed Data Platform is not this resource. Rate limits: Not stated. Signal Lab links only.
