Note that while it specifically mentions the Light spell, it does not mention the Fire spell. Go with the literal meaning: extinguish
light not flame.

However, since the spell is named "Darkness", one might also argue (and I certainly would, if I were the GM having this argument with a player) that the clear intention of the spell was to target light, not combustion — and that this is just another example of unclear text that needs to be rewritten and clarified in future editions.

Exactly. This eliminates the extra effect of suppressing fire.
