Hi Jernej,

while you are free to choose any license as far as the rules are concerned
(e.g. if you use an alternative upload method and add templates yourself),
we chose many years ago already to not offer multiple licenses. Explaining
that a license is free, is already hard enough. Given that we have 50-80%
newcomers, we don't want to overload them with choices. So indeed: to keep
the process as simple as possible. If you get feedback that this bothers
newcomers, please let us know.
