The API (and the HTML form based interface) offer Finland as a 
jurisdiction choice. Since the 2.0 update of the Finnish licenses is 
waiting for a new copyright bill becoming an act (personally I hope the 
bill does not pass), the license selectors end up recommending the 1.0 
licenses if you choose Finland.

I think there needs to be a warning mechanism saying that the licenses 
for the selected jurisdiction have been updated elsewhere and the 
licensor should consider using the "Generic" 2.0 licenses.
