And, as a result, since MediaWiki is licensed under the v2+ rather than v3, we cannot accept Apache-licensed code into core.
We cannot. But our users can. And our users can also combine with GPL v2-only code.
The set of acceptable core licenses is thus *more* restrictive ("GPL v2+" and those licenses compatible with it) so that our users have *more* freedom (license combined works under GPLv2, GPLv3, AGPL (maybe), etc). That's how it works. It's not hard. --scott
