Mike Linksvayer of the Creative Commons wrote in with some good ideas about license handling. For one, Prodigem isn't yet on the CC 2.5 licenses, but more importantly there are whole swaths of licenses we don't contain or cover. Partly, I should say that this is on purpose. The one thing we do not want to do is overwhelm our users with too many choices. So I have taken Mike's best suggestion and implemented it. There is now an "other" choice available both from the UI and the API where users can manually enter the name and the URL which describes the license they wish to use if it does not appear on our default list. I think this will be a nice middleground for all.

And I'm also thinking about just flipping a switch to turn all my CC 2.0 licenses into 2.5 licenses, but I'm not sure where the differences lie.
