Is it at all possible to define the license the script is released under in the userscript itself?

Right now, when I release stuff under the GNU GPL, I put in the description (not the summary) a link to which version of the GNU GPL I am releasing it under, after putting under the 'license' dropdown on the site which license its released under. Is it possible to tell that license dropdown what license i'm releasing the script under from within the meta stuff of the user script?

Is your question a suggestion for improving how the "Edit Metadata" page on this site works? In that case, a moderator might want to move it to: http://userscripts.org/forums/3

Include one or more @license lines in your metadata:

// @license example_license; http://link.to/license
