One little nuisance in our LaunchpadForms is that radio button labels can be entire paragraphs, yet our CSS doesn't allow the browser to line-break them. It just says "label { white-space: nowrap }".It is rarely appropriate for form labels to wrap to multiple lines. That said, it is even less appropriate for pages to scroll horizontally.
In this case, I wonder if it's even right that all of this text goes into labels. A brief label plus optional explanation would be ideal.
"I would rather: I agree to licence all my translations in Launchpad using the BSD licence." should be "I would rather: License all my translations in Launchpad under the BSD licence".
How about this? I would rather: (*) License all my translations in Launchpad under the BSD licence. ( ) Not make translations in Launchpad.(Should I infer from your examples that I should use "license" as the verb and "licence" as the noun? Our existing text uses "licence" for both).
(Also... Capitalize after colon? As I recall a very knowledgeable English editor once changed that in an article I wrote. That was in 1999 though, so I may be mistaken; and he was over twice my age at the time so things may have changed since he studied the language.)
