Comparison of Standard RF License Agreements
BD:
I think this is a little outdated. For example, I know Depositphotos changed the license agreement awhile ago and needs to be updated as it appears they no longer limit the number of copies and possibly seats: http://depositphotos.com/license.html. I think Bigstock might have changed since as well.

If you'd like another agent added, find any errors or find changes t :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[o existing licenses at a later date, drop me a post here and I'll update it.
ETA: The purpose of this table is to highlight :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\those agents selling EL User Rights under the normal standard RF license and subscription sales.

* Notes
1. Excess Reproduction Run for iStockphoto is invoiced to buyer - does this mean no additional commission is paid to the contributor?
2. Number of seats is not mentioned in the standard licence restrictions for 123rf, however they do over an unlimited multi-seat EL.
3. Limited reproduction however usage granted to only one type and must purchase separate license for each type.
Other reproductions include anything that's not reproduced on printed material. For example, ebooks, images incorporated into software, media reproductions - film, video, email marketing and similar.
I've highlighted the ones that need attention in red.

Ah, the "good" old days.
That chart's very out of date - Veer, Stockfresh and GraphicLeftovers are out of business and Fotolia is now AdobeStock. I don't think any of the agencies impose a maximum size on online display of images, but if there still is a limit it's much larger than it was
The issue of enforcement of license violations is also worth considering - considering there's another post today from someone pointing out that Creative Market is offering Adobe Stock and Shutterstock photos in a bundle of sky images (and saying in the description that they're doing that), the agencies don't exactly stand out for protecting their contributors.

Just requested to delete my images.
The worse the site is, more problems to delete images. These even don't give such option for a user.
