I'd like to come back and revisit this problem. First, there is an option to include a Copyright Tag in your file upload, under "This file is not my own work" > "Another reason not mentioned above", so this isn't technically a valid bug. Furthermore, while PD-old appears to be a popular choice by the Public Domain people, CC-BY-SA-3.0 has nearly 3 million files. CC-BY-3.0 has 600K, too. The other versions of those licenses have still more. While it makes sense to have the copyright tags available (and indeed, I just patched UW to allow them for your own work), it's a matter of configuration and administrative decision to make one choice easy and certain other ones slightly more difficult. The UW developers don't really have any say as to what licenses are the defaults. I'll keep this around if someone else wants to comment, but it seems like a resolved problem to me.... Maybe try filing a bug under Wikimedia > Site configuration, if you're adamant that the Commons admins should include pd-old-70 in the default license choices. Let them know that the relevant config file (UploadWizard.config.php) needs to have 'pd-old-70' added to the 'licenses' array, with the relevant options, and then add the same to the 'licensesThirdPart' array under 'licensesGroups'. All of those should be straightforward. They'll also need to add an i18n message for the license explanation, at least.
