Only to prevent this bug from being closed because:

"[...] Because of the possibility of multi-licensing, we have to use checkboxes
here, and allow for some degree of multi-licensing. [...]" Eloquence on
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#UploadWizard_gone_mad.3F

Multilicensing of "not own work" is nonsense. The options almost always exclude
each other.

For example: 
* If we have Flickr-uploads, we only have to provide one option. 
* For US-Gov, dual licensing makes no sense
* cc-zero + cc-by makes no sense
* cc-by + cc-by-sa makes no sense
* pd-old + cc makes no sense
* fal (art libre) + cc-by makes no sense

There are only a few combinations options making sense, but it is soooo
unrealistic for "not own work" that it is used. (And I have never seen such a
case). But there is still the possibility to add the license afterward on the
file-description page, if required.

Honestly spoken, I never saw a file *correctly* multilicensed uploaded with
upload wizard. More often it was an indicator for copyright violations or just
"not knowing" about licenses.
