{{Warning|Using this template in lists (i.e. using <code><nowiki>* {{self|cc-by-3.0}}</nowiki></code>) is discouraged. Doing so will lead to [[mw:Help:Lint_errors/multiline-html-table-in-list|lint errors]].}}

This template accepts licenses as unnamed parameters, which should be the names of image license templates, and displays them as options to choose between in a multi-license. If the image was not uploaded by its author, you can change "I" at the start of the template to another name by setting the ''author='' parameter.

The optional ''migration='' parameter corresponds to keywords in the {{Tl|License migration}} template series and is used to track the [[m:license update|license update]] process for GFDL images.

Here are 4 examples of multi-license templates along with links to their component parts: 

{| class="wikitable"
|-
|<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Self|Self]] <nowiki>|</nowiki>[[Template:CC BY-SA 3.0|CC BY-SA 3.0]]<nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Template:GFDL|GFDL]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
|-
|<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Self|Self]] <nowiki>|</nowiki>[[Template:CC BY-SA 3.0, 2.5, 2.0, 1.0|CC BY-SA 3.0, 2.5, 2.0, 1.0]] <nowiki>|</nowiki>[[Template:GFDL|GFDL]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
|-
|<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Self|Self]] <nowiki>|</nowiki>[[Template:CC BY-SA 3.0|CC BY-SA 3.0]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
|-
|<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Self|Self]] <nowiki>|</nowiki>[[Template:CC BY 3.0|CC BY 3.0]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
|}

Here below is what the first example template produces when saved in an image page. 

: <code><nowiki>{{Self|CC BY-SA 3.0| GFDL}}</nowiki></code>

produces:

{{Self|CC BY-SA 3.0| GFDL|date=October 2015}}

==Limitations==
This template cannot be used on a line that starts with <code>*</code> or <code>#</code>. Doing so will cause syntax errors on the rendered page.
