Thanks @Legoktm for creating this task!
Maybe the authors thought it was so simple it didn't need a license at all.

This Mediawiki Extension is licensed under GNU General Public Licence 2.0 or later. Author was Roland Unger.

The extensions should solve the problem to search in several namespaces with all searching tools because the German Wikivoyage used several content namespaces (destinations, travel topics). The extension was never used because its use required a change of Mediawiki core. That's why the formerly separated namespaces are merged into the main namespace at the current Wikivoyage.

Thanks Roland!
