When [[https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension%3AParserFunctions&type=revision&diff=2034995&oldid=1986388|fixing the license entry]] of [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions|Extension:ParserFunctions]] so it used a valid keyword, I noticed that the extension is apparently GPL-2.0 only, not GPL-2.0 or later as core. This seems an oversight, and actually most would not have noticed that bit, much less avoided contributing if it had the later part.
Technically, the README says «Licensed under GNU GPL. See COPYING for more license information.», and COPYING starts with the text «The ParserFunctions extension may be copied and redistributed under the GNU General Public License.», so we might be able to use the «If the Program does not specify a version number of the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.» clause despite COPYING containing a copy of the version 2.0
Still, I would like to allow people to raise any objection they may have with relicensing ParserFunctions from //GPL 2.0 only// to //GPL 2.0 or later//.
