Yes, I see that the warning isn't specifically because I chose "or
later". And I appreciate that fewer license options can lead to a less
confusing interface.
LP is caught between having umpteen different GPL options and having an
awful lot of projects not fit into the presented boxes (I'm guessing
there's more v2 or later than, say, MPL projects).
Perhaps what's needed is a different mechanism than checkboxes. Maybe
you could use checkboxes for your 5 most popular licenses and a
drop-down for the larger list.
Or, maybe the first step is actually to recognize that GPL isn't alone
in having licenses with significantly differing versions. PHP license
versions matter. Apache license versions matter. Perhaps if the user
checks licenses that are versioned, javascript could be used to present
the various version flavors for checkboxing.
