For more experienced users not selecting a licence is actually easier if you
know exactly which template to use, because you can prepare the complete
description page in the upload form, without having to move the category to
the bottom or correcting a too generic tag afterwards. A show preview button
whould be nice though.
Although I agree with Brianna/pfctdayelise that people should look into
licenses before uploading, I think having a "I don't know option" is
preferable over people just randomly picking a license. When just 1 in 100
people is honest so be it, but that at least makes it obvious that more
attention is needed. Too many people just slap on a license without thinking
or take things too easily for granted, see the World Cup images from Flickr
which are obviously copyvio's.

It would be nice to still allow people to select
"I don't know what the
license is" so that those with more experience can help (particularly
easy
for us in the case of old photographs).
1 in maybe 100 would be such nice cases, the other 99 would be
explaining that random stuff off the web is copyrighted. I would
prefer people find out the license BEFORE uploading. It would save a
lot of work. We have a [[commons:Help desk|]] for this purpose.
