On the upload page for commons, there should be an option "none", in the multiple choice list. In IE or Opera (and possibly other browsers), the none option is not shown, because the code is misinterpreted as "<option value=''>". The code looks like <option value=''>None selected</option> <option value="Unknown" title="{{Unknown}}">I don't know what the license is</option> It should be (I guess) option value="" instead. It works in Firefox, but not in Opera or IE, and since still most users use IE this should be fixed. This is somewhat critical since users using other browsers than Firefox can't upload images with a certain licence tag without lying about the tag (as in choosing a random licence tag in the list) and later changing it manually. Thank you very much in advance!

I guessed, didn't check. I checked now, and the code shows like <option value=''>None selected</option> <option value="Unknown" title="{{Unknown}}">I don't know what the license is</option> in Firefox too... In Firefox though, I see the "none" value, which I'm sure you also do. I don't know if the problem is browser specific, but it should in some way be fixed so that IE and Opera users also can upload images properly. I don't know anything about coding myself.
Close, but the problem was actually the missing '>' on the line above, which caused the <select> to not be closed properly. Single-quotes are perfectly ok on XML/HTML attributes. Fixed in SpecialUpload.php revision 1.100.
