I'm sure it is already deployed on WMF servers. Can you elaborate?
e.g. deployed is not the same as being part of MediaWiki. We use [[Jenkins (software)]] on WMF servers and the enwiki article says it is MIT licensed.
What exactly would you like to do?

My understanding is several extensions that are deployed are under dwtfywwi license.
This is obviously just my personal opinion (which means nothing), but I can't imagine there being a problem with a gpl-compatible license that wasn't the gpl. I'd be surprised if there was a problem with any open source license.
