We want a separate page that allows people to change the licence for their
material, which they should ideally only do if they do not have the Copyright
and cannot relicense under GFDL.

Please make the text of this page:

  "Select Licence

   Multiple licenses comply with SELF's Free Educational Material Definition.
You are strongly encouraged to follow the default policy and choose the GNU
Free Documentation License (GFDL) for all materials that you hold the
Copyright on. This allows maximal recombination between different SELF
materials, as well as SELF and other sources of knowledge, Wikipedia included.
The FAQ explains the background for this request.

   If you don't want to follow this recommendation, or if the material you
are submitting cannot be relicensed by you, please select the appropriate
license from the list below.

   [List of licenses from http://selfproject.eu/EM-Licenses. Please include
all the versions (as things may be under older licenses) and make sure to
include the links for people to find the licenses easily. My first suggestion
would be to do this as a list with checkboxes, with GNU FDL selected by
default. Maybe this could also be done in a way where selection of a license
automatically returns to the main page, which should then reflect the changed
license in the text it displays, see
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?23097]

   If you cannot find the license you were looking for, please consult this
list of SELF approved licenses whether the license has already undergone
assessment. In case you cannot find the license, please follow the
instructions on the license list page in order to get your license assessed
and potentially included in this page."

In this text, there should be several links:

 * "Multiple licenses" -> http://selfproject.eu/EM-Licenses
 * "SELF's Free Educational Material Definition" ->
http://selfproject.eu/EMD
 * "GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL)" ->
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html
 * "explains the background" -> http://selfproject.eu/FAQ4#FAQ4.15
 * "consult this list" -> http://selfproject.eu/EM-Licenses

Suggestions on how to improve the understandability or readability of the
text are very welcome.
