They are using MediaWiki for their support site, which is perfectly OK.
However, if they took the MediaWiki source code, closed it, and tried to
sell it, that wouldn't.

Hi,
I know that the software we use for our website is payed (
www.whmcs.com)
and you can add a "wiki" module. This module doesn't cost any extra money,
but you can grap a add-on that costs money what will tune the Wiki CSS into
your websites CSS (pretty cool do!)
But this is just MediaWiki:
http://docs.whmcs.com/Special:Version
And the payed addon is a encrypte source code..
Best,
Huib

GPL 2.0 section 2 b:
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part
thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
under the terms of this License.
You can modify GPL software for private use. That clause only kicks in
when you "distribute or publish" the work, so you're generally OK if
you're just using it within a single company. Maybe that's what Huib
meant by "closed source".
