I'm sort of one, too, though I've contributed nearly nothing
to the
project except vague suggestions and complaints. (Jason,
OTOH, has
contributed mountains of code.)

One idea is to have a selector for the type of work as a
radio button or
drop-down right at the top. The liblicense API could let
the library user
specify which sort of license to offer by default, and/or if
to offer the
choice at all (then KDevelop could use liblicense and only
show code
licenses and not let users select CC by-nc-sa).
Just a thought.
