This is still present. Preferably, files should be subject to terms given in the same repository as the file. E.g. the PageTriage extension has headers like this, but I would prefer if the license for that file were given in the PageTriage repository.

At the very least, the broken link needs to be fixed. Right now, it says:

"No part of qa-browsertests, including this file, may be copied, modified, propagated, or distributed except according to the terms contained in the LICENSE file."

and then the link to said license is broken.

I want to solve the issue. Can anyone give the details of this issue ?

This is a rough list of files that has string qa-browsertests

https://github.com/search?q=org%3Awikimedia+qa-browsertests&type=Code

File headers should probably just be deleted. As far as I can see, other files have no license header.

Example from PdfHandler repository:

https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-PdfHandler/blob/a526e649b60de9f5b7548a761767433a3a71fd0f/tests/browser/features/support/pages/random_page.rb

#
# This file is subject to the license terms in the LICENSE file found in the
# qa-browsertests top-level directory and at
# https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/qa%2Fbrowsertests/HEAD/LICENSE. No part of
# qa-browsertests, including this file, may be copied, modified, propagated, or
# distributed except according to the terms contained in the LICENSE file.

Please note that no changes should be made to mediawiki-debian and mediawiki-extensions-Wikidata repositories. As far as I can see, they reuse code from other repositories and will be updated after the code has been merged into the original repository.

Also, changes should be pushed to Gerrit, not GitHub.

@zeljkofilipin should the license headers present in all the files containing the string 'qa-browsertests' are to be removed (as in the link given by you above?) ?

@Rammanojpotla (I think) license headers should be:

• removed - if the rest of the files in the repository do not have license headers
• updated - if the rest of the files in the repository do have license headers - to whatever headers the rest of the files have

@zeljkofilipin as mentioned above in mediawiki-PdfHandler have a license in COPYING file(i.e GNU GPL license) so I have to modify it with the license in the randompage.rb(i.e in mediawiki-extensions-PdfHandler/tests/browser/features/support/pages/random_page.rb) should I place a link of it there or to copy the entire license in COPYING file?
and you said above the fallowing "please note that no changes should be made to mediawiki-debian and mediawiki-extensions-Wikidata repositories. As far as I can see, they reuse code from other repositories and will be updated after the code has been merged into the original repository."
does the above sentence mean that I have to make no changes in the license files of the above extensions?

In general, files in PdfHandler repository do not have license headers (except PdfHandler.image.php and PdfHandler_body.php) I think license header from random_page.rb should be deleted.
