This is mostly a semantic issue but... I strongly disagree with this
statement as written.
Change that to «All free licenses* are acceptable to us, but in the sake
of simplicity we are only offering through the UW the option of CC-BY-SA
3.0 license. Advanced users may choose a different license by other
means» and we can be friends again. :)
(I think it's also the way it was presented in May 2011)

* Free licenses as understood by Commons criteria, with the obvious
restriction of being compatible with own photo upload (eg. "author died
100 years ago" in some photos).

I think some countries have several licenses (CC-BY-SA, CC-BY, CC-0),
probably because it's the default when creating a campaign.
