You mean: MediaWiki. WikiMedia is the foundation, which develops the software MediaWiki ;)
That's only partly true, actually.
Wikimedia has paid developers who work on MediaWiki, and has a vested interest in it, of course, but not all development of MediaWiki is done "for Wikimedia", if you get my meaning.
For example, I don't work for the Wikimedia Foundation, and I don't personally care whether they use any of my extension code, for instance.
In addition, there are a number of third parties developing MediaWiki in forks, branches and other extensions - Wikia has a team (based in Poland?) and Travis of WikiHow does quite a bit of extension work.
A lot of people have an interest in a large, scalable wiki solution.
