Extensions must now include a license with each version, but the Mozilla Tri-License, a very popular license type, is not offered in the drop down. It would make it a lot easier for developers if they didn't have to put it in the "Other" option.

Reproducible: Always

Nevermind, that's MPL not tri-license.  :)

I thought this was left out on purpose but I wasn't in on the details.  CCing people who were

the importance of this bug should be more than just "enhancement", perhaps "minor", all mozilla code is tri-licensed, the extensions on AMO should have the possibility to use this option easily as well.

I can't find the other bug, but this is a dupe of a wontfix.  There is an "other" field which can be used for this.  We didn't want to add this because it's actually 3 licenses that we'd have to list on the page (with links to each) which is a special case.
