In the current license picker the freedoms are implicit.

"[...] So the puzzle is no different in this regard." True, but then why the "Freedoms" reference? I like the dry "License Your Work" of the current license picker better. "If you have any suggestions as to how to *really* simplify the process of choosing the right license [...]" The current license picker is straightforward and very usable. It would be nice of course if all the new licenses (Sampling, Sampling +, Music Sharing, etc.) would be accessible through the same mechanism instead of residing in the sidebar. I'm gonna give this some thought and will ping you when I have something on (virtual) paper. Hi Mike,

True, but then why the “Freedoms” reference? I like the dry “License Your Work” of the current license picker better.

So the puzzle is no different in this regard. If you have any suggestions as to how to *really* simplify the process of choosing the right license (tweaks to the current main license chooser, the puzzle, or some new metaphor) I'd love to hear them. Thanks for the feedback in any case. “whatever piece you click after the initial load, you are actually restricting freedoms”
