The licensing section of this page is likely to be contentious,
especially this: "One example exception is GPL-licensed work. While
some authorities suggest that GPLv3 is compatible with ASL, in order
to remove any ambiguity over what is allowed no plugins or themes
should be committed to the extras repository that use any version of
the GPL license."

I am in favour of disallowing GPL licensed works. I think we should
make it as clear and simple as possible for contributors to know what
can and can't be put in the -extras repo. We all know that licensing
is hard, and because it's hard most people try not to think about it.
Let's make it easy for people to not think about it, even if it means
some stuff can't be put in -extras.
