Wouldn't it just be safer to slap the GPL license notice on the API
interface wiki-page since no one actually knows how it applies? With the API
you can essentially wrap MediaWiki into your own application and extend
onwards from there.

Most of us programmers aren't lawyers and are just sharing their best
guess. If you can get someone with legal expertise to clear up the
issue, feel free to add it to the docs at
MW.org (it's a wiki, so anyone
can edit it).
