Please feel free to treat my code contributions as you wish; my code has been Public Domain since 2010 (see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Jack_Phoenix/extensions) and I'm not objected to (re)licensing the unlicensed ones to Public Domain (or alternatively, licensing them under Ævar's awesome Do Whatever The Fuck You Want With It license, the DWTFYWWI, version 1 or any later version at your convenience or whatever the fuck you may prefer). Global user preferences (bug #14950), for example, would be both very nice and useful to have and certainly a lot more productive than a legalese discussion on who wrote what and what constitutes/doesn't constitute as downloading or whatever. At this rate, we'll soon be debating about the very meaning of the word "is". Now can we please get back to actual development discussion and writing code?
