Hi, I'm the person who made that decision.

It was a combination "this is the simplest thing to do" and "I think
we're changing how Licenses work soon anyway, so this will work for now".

I thought about changing it to be more wiki-editable many times, but I
never got around to it. When it was only deployed on one site it wasn't
as big of a deal. Now that UW is deployed everywhere (not just Commons)
it's probably overdue to make it fully wiki-configurable.

The simplest thing would be to make a page that has a JSON structure
similar to the PHP configuration.
