There is no global setting to remove the license selector on Special:Upload. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings#Uploads
[The bug title does not describe a bug but a solution or feature / new functionality. Hence setting priority to enhancement.] What's the usecase? Enhancement requests should explain why something is wanted (and a user story would be one effective way of conveying this).
Instead of adding yet another configuration variable, setting the 'licenses' message to "-" could be used as an indicator that the license selector is not to be used. That convention is used for several other messages.
