Thank you very much! The new upload form is better in most ways but the
old one is quicker for the some less common license tags like
{{PD-USGov-FWS}} such as the one I used. I like the larger description
box on the new one much better.

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,
PatrĂcia

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.

It would be possible to add something like "I have a custom license"
to the end of the drop down box.
