Currently, there's no need (or way) to select a license to in
individual file made available for download. I just checked this in
the UI for the paleosoft project:

http://code.google.com/p/paleosoft/downloads/list

(You need to be logged in to see the upload form. BTW, if anyone here
wants a an account to put code in paleosoft, just ask! I'm using
paleosoft to collaborate with other grok users who don't have
committer privileges in zope.org)

I'm assuming the opposite, as I said above: since they created
google-summer-of-code as a regular project inside their hosting app, I
assume Google wants to use the functionality as it is. Of course,
they've already made one customization (the "multiple licenses" bit),
and more changes may happen...

I will do the same.

I think you've covered it all.
