Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Only special/SpecialFundraiserMaintenance.php specifies a license (GPLv2+), and no COPYING file is present.
The extension credits array should get a "license-name" key added, with the agreement of every main author.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ContributionTracking would also have to be updated.

Timely question @Reedy - this extension mostly just manages a single connection string at this point, and we're hoping to obviate the need for it later this month. So pretty soon we should be able to 'finish this one off'.
