report of difficulty uploading to gallery
Hi Friends, Lazur mentioned to me that he's trying to upload a new filter set to the gallery. If I understand correctly, it won't upload, and the license area becomes red. I've guessed it's because he needs to use a certain license for a filter set, but I'm not sure specifically which one. (Also not sure if that's a correct guess.) He had tried to use Public Domain. (See the Chatbox on the index page of Inkscape Community, for details.)
Thanks, brynn
Update -- it worked for him to use GPL2 license. Maybe should have all other licenses grayed out, if only one will work?

Hi Brynn,
Yes, you're guessing correctly. The valid licences for Inkscape files (i.e. those that potentially could be distributed with the program) are set to GPL, LGPL and AGPL. I'd also have added Public Domain and other free licences - but my question about that topic has probably been lost.
I also find it frustrating to upload something, and to have to re-select the file when the licence doesn't match (I think it should at least give feedback on which ones are allowed when submission fails).
Would you like to make a bug report for this? (I don't know if that's possible with django forms or if this needs some additional js. The greying out would need AJAX to update the form when you switch the category.)
Thanks, Kind regards, Maren

Fixing this wasn't easy, but I've committed (not released yet) code that replaces the License widget with the new FilterSelect widget, this gets the information about what categories their tied to and passes it to jquery. A jquery piece then disables options not allowed.
The message returned to users is also improved, it now says what licenses are allowed (this is for people with disable js)

Thanks, Martin - I think you've really tackled a big usability issue with this. I've just done some local tests, and will create a bug report with my findings.
Kind regards, Maren
