This is mostly a semantic issue but... I strongly disagree with this
statement as written.
Change that to «All free licenses* are acceptable to us, but in the sake
of simplicity we are only offering through the UW the option of CC-BY-SA
3.0 license. Advanced users may choose a different license by other
means» and we can be friends again. :)
(I think it's also the way it was presented in May 2011)
* Free licenses as understood by Commons criteria, with the obvious
restriction of being compatible with own photo upload (eg. "author died
100 years ago" in some photos).
To achieve that goal, we have enabled only this
licence in our
UploadCampaigns on Commons; so if you see it's there, please /do not/
change it or add other licences; this would only make things harder
for those of the participants that use the UploadWizard--and they are
mostly fresh newcomers, who have never heard of MediaWiki before.
I think some countries have several licenses (CC-BY-SA, CC-BY, CC-0),
probably because it's the default when creating a campaign.
