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 {{License migration}} template series and is used to track the license update process for GFDL images.
Here are 4 examples of multi-license templates along with links to their component parts:
| {{Self |cc-by-sa-3.0| GFDL}} |
| {{Self |cc-by-sa-3.0,2.5,2.0,1.0 |GFDL}} |
| {{Self |cc-by-sa-3.0}} |
| {{Self |cc-by-3.0}} |
