Okay, RobLa and I just talked about this in person, and I think I understand it
now. So we don't mind being open to GPLv3, in the sense that someone could
write an extension that was GPLv3, and then the combination of MediaWiki plus
that extension would be GPLv3.

However, as a matter of WMF policy, is it correct to assume that everyone who
works for us should be writing GPLv2, or just saying "this extension is
licensed under the same terms as MediaWiki"?
