The pull-down list for "Licensing:" still includes the option to select {{subst:Non-commercial from license selector}} ("The copyright holder only allows this work to be used for non-commercial and/or educational purposes"). According to Wikipedia policy, any images uploaded and thus tagged after 19 May 2005 are subject to speedy deletion. It doesn't make sense to keep this licensing option in the menu any more. If a contributor selects this option in good faith, it may result in speedy deletion of the upload at some time in the future, thus wasting the time of the uploader and other contributors who link their article contents to the file(s). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Images.2FMedia
This is not a Bugzilla issue. The list is maintained locally by enwiki admins at [[MediaWiki:Licenses]], and any proposed changes should go to the appropriate talk page/village pump/etc.
