Hi I have uploaded the patch
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/189294/ here so which ever
license that gets pick the commit can get updated for the new license so if we decide to
change to AGPLv3 then the commit can be updated for that license or any other one.

IANAL, but if there is some flexibility here, I would
argue that extensions
should *not* be considered derivatives. Legally, because extensions do not
contain MediaWiki code (beyond using the programming API provided by core
classes);
Ah, good! Yeah, programming to a provided and documented API should be
fine. (With WordPress, themes and plugins are very much programs
running in the same process, etc.)
in practice, because we have many extensions licensed
under
licenses that are incompatible with GPL,[1] and I don't think we should
require people to choose a GPL-compatible licence should they want to write
MediaWiki extensions.
