Is there a good mapping of user-friendly allowed/prohibited checkboxes to 
other content licences such as GFDL? I think it's hard to find one, and 
therefore having an explicit listing would probably be needed. We already 
have the full texts of the licences available through kdelibs/licenses and 
even for the CC ones having a link to the full conditions seems like a good 
idea. That's just an idea, I'm not an expert of how to convey licencing 
information to users.

A lot of people also use GPL for content, mostly for the sake of not having to 
care about licences (e.g. many game projects - textures, models, levels 
etc.).
