These are both great suggestions. I'm going to keep these as notes for
future UploadWizard development.

This is an excellent suggestion - it solves several issues at once.
As well as people who've set the "wrong" license ( = they probably
didn't think it through) being able to fix it, it means that we do the
nice and polite thing of actually telling people that their work was
appreciated, that we're wanting to use it, etc. People like being told
their images are being reused - I know that when someone left me a
note on flickr to say that they'd copied my pictures to Commons, I was
quite excited even when I had a vague feeling I should have uploaded
them myself :-)
And, of course, it promotes Commons to photographers...
