My preferred behavior would be:
* If no license is selected under preferences, then it remembers what
you chose last time.
* If a license is selected under preferences, then it sticks with that
one even if you choose a different one for individual uploads.

My default preference stays the same, but for various reasons I
sometimes want or need to deviate from that.  I would find it
frustrating if the preference that I set manually got changed every
time I used a different choice for a single upload.
