Enhancement to Addons Page

    We need to add to the addons page a spot to list the license type. Rather its open source friendly or not, and possibly allowing someone to register a addon they created through the creative commons website under whatever license they prefer would be interesting. On the addon upload page it should ask what license they want to give the addon.

    also, any requirements should be linked on the addon upload page if any are to exist.

    I think this is a good idea. Of course, since the Addons site has been released as Open Source already, you could make the changes yourself and send them to @Mark to get the changes in there quicker ;)

    Hmm, I read "requirements" as dependencies...

    For example, to the right of downloads there is a requirements box. Is that what was meant?

    I thought they were two different points, one being license and the other being requirements.
