Other license than presented when editing an article
-
Hello I suggest to add the possibility to add other licenses, when editing an article, to the licenses of the list. In my case, I would like to select the Ms-RL license, but it is not in the list. And I can not edit the text box manually either. The site could be modified in order to let us edit the license name and a link to its text. Thank you P.S. I know CDDL and CPL are in the list but they are sooooo long (and therefore restrictive).

We can add the Ms-RL fairly easily. I'll ask Sean to put that together.

"Long" != "restrictive" Long more often means "complete, thought through, and offering protection to you and your users you may not have thought of". The only reason we paid the lawyers to spend so much time on the CPOL was because of our frustration that no one else thought to actually put in place a license that made clear what would happen if things got messy (instead of just assuming the World's full of butterflies and unicorns and everyone's reasonable and forgiving).

Thank you, I appreciate.

At least the CPOL is compact, compared to the CDDL for example. ;)
