I suggest a list composed from:

http://www.fsf.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses
http://www.fsf.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLIncompatibleLicenses
http://www.fsf.org/licenses/license-list.html#FreeDocumentationLicenses

and also The Design Science License - http://dsl.org/copyleft/dsl.txt

That 'other' option doesn't seem like a necessary thing. If new Free
Software licences show up (which is definitely not something frequent),
and someone wants to use them, they can always <<Contact
webmaster gnome org with questions.>> :)

I can take some time to hack the cgi if needed, where's the source? :)
