Compare this list with the list here:

http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html

This seems to be a superset.  I suspect if you selected one of the
licenses here as "Other" they would have to accept it (or amend this
page).  It appears that the list on the registration form is shorter
either because of:

a) an oversight (very un-FSF-ish)

or

b) a deliberate decision (steering projects towards choice of a
   license more palatable to the FSF?  e.g. "Clarified Artistic"
   is on the registration form, but the original "Artistic" is not)
