This should make the "License" link to appear at
https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version#mw-version-ext-Global%20CSS/JS

And/Or a COPYING file adding

Only the RL modules seem to have any sort of licensing information...

Adding a COPYING file generates a link to [[Special:Version/License/Global_CSS/JS]] which is broken due to Special:Version just dropping the /JS part.

If we "rename" the extension to "Global CSS & JS" we no longer have that issue. Thoughts?

When https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/182572/ is merged, I'll add "namemsg" for "Global CSS/JS", so "GlobalCssJs" will be kept as "name".
