[Commons-l] Proposed custom wikitext license feature for UploadWizard

[Neil Kandalgaonkar]

More stuff has been happening on the VP.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#Proposed_feature_for_UploadWizard_-_enter_license_in_custom_wikitext

Anyway, TLDR on the rantier comments (including my own); I'm starting to 
think that entering wikitext is probably a bad idea; what we need is an 
autocompleting drop-down of all the licenses used on Commons.

1) Is it fair to say that a license that's within Category:License_tags 
is okay with Commons? Or if it isn't, will some procedure eventually 
remove or relicense all items uploaded under that license?

2) Do we need anything other than autocompleting those template titles?
