What's the LP url for that project? I'm not exactly sure about your request. Do you want us to include the zlib/lib png license to the list of available licenses?

It's http://launchpad.net/nunit-2.5

When you go to that page, you see "This project's license has not been reviewed"
My understanding was that eventually somebody would review it and that would
go away, but it has been there for many months. Maybe I misunderstood.

IMO, zlib/libpng should be on a non-visible list of acceptable licenses but
not on your gui checklist, since it's really not a license we should encourage
people to use. The next version of NUnit will use something else, but
this is what historical versions use.

Bottom line - I just don't want to give people the impression that NUnit
may not be open source.
