Right. Tim Starling, you claim copyright on that file. Can you please confirm which DFSG-free Open Source™ licence(s) we can use and distribute that file under?
Code by Tim Starling is available under any OSI license: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Tim_Starling
As he is the main author of IEContentAnalyzer.php and IEUrlExtension.php that should clear their issue.
Indeed, that will, and that removes the release-criticalness of this issue and reduces it into a documentation issue.
IEUrlExtension.php does not have any licence at all. Is it safe to assume it’s GPLv2+ as “all of the rest of MediaWiki”?
Yes, it is safe to assume that the code would be GPLv2+ just as the rest of mediawiki.
Thanks. Then all we need is to document these special cases in debian/copyright.
