That would be fine (except that radio button labels should not end in periods). > (Should I infer from your examples that I should use "license" as the > verb and "licence" as the noun? Our existing text uses "licence" for > both). Actually I was accidentally using UK English there. In both UK and US English, the verb is "license".

Your editor was correct if the colon was in the middle of a sentence, or if it was introducing a list treated as a single sentence (i.e. if the last item ended in a period but the others did not). Radio button labels are not sentences, though, and they have their own rules. They should never end in a period, and they almost always start with a capital letter.
