That is incorrect, the GPL does not say that. The GPL allows verbatim
copies of source code, with no restrictions on the license of any
bundled or dynamically linked code. Only "non-source forms" (or
"binaries" in v2) have more restrictive conditions. Since the
MediaWiki core and extensions are distributed solely in source form,
the non-source (binary) conditions do not apply.
