Description Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2012-11-27 09:05:20 UTC 
Bug 26280 was about PHP files missing the GPL header which is the license used by MediaWiki core.  To avoid having to reopen the original bug, we would need a lint check script that would make sure any file added to the repo contains the GPL headers.
Comment 1 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2013-01-17 15:58:32 UTC 
Ubuntu package `devscripts` provides a `licensecheck` tool which we might use on submitted files.
Comment 2 Chad H. 2013-01-17 16:03:03 UTC 
We'd want to provide an exception for the includes/libs/ directory, some of which are purposefully licensed under non-GPL licenses.
Comment 3 Krinkle 2014-11-19 20:48:25 UTC 
I'd say catch it through code review and maybe scan occasionally. I don't think it's worth the overhead to try and automate this. I haven't seen any other major projects do this either.
