Hi, thanks for the explanation. It was actually a long-time user that noticed this, so it's not really an issue.

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.

    Hi all

    a colleague at :slwiki noticed that the upload form only allows
    selection of the CC-BY-SA license for uploads within WLM campaigns.
    Since the WLM guidelines
    
[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2019/Organise]

    specifically allow any free license including public domain,
    shouldn't
    the upload process reflect this? Or was it decided that the process
    should be as simple as possible?

    Jernej
