Hello,
You can go to Your preferences -> Gadgets and then tick the first line ("Use the old-style upload form layout."), that way you shouldn't have any problem. You can direct any bug reports and suggestions to Lupo (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Lupo), who has worked very hard to make the form work smoothly and continues to patiently tweak it everytime someone complains about it :). Cheers, Patrícia

I had the same problems with my last upload. I finally picked the closest license from the drop down. When the upload finished I changed it to the correct one manually. It also told me to provide the original source which I had already done. Finally it allowed the upload. FireFox 2 and Vista upgrade here but it should not matter what operating system we use, the drop down should have an option like Chris says. Sandahl
It would be possible to add something like "I have a custom license" to the end of the drop down box.
