Are we suing ShareKit on Android? Or would it be universal once we adopt it?

The other points are well taken and we should get this in shape.

ShareKit is iOS only. We can move the ticket to iOS only once we fixed the parts that apply to all apps I guess.

Do we want to go GPLv2 to stay in line with MediaWiki, or should we consider GPLv3, LGPL, MIT or BSD as well ?

Unless we have a compelling reason to think otherwise, we should go for GPLv2 itself.

Added a CREDITS file to the source code and a script to generate the credits.
