Dear MW developers,
I recently found a wiki farm owned by bilibili.com (one of the largest online video and game company) called "BWIKI" which is apparently using a set of heavily modified MW environment. However, it doesn't seem to be open-sourced, which is a obvious GPL violation.
I tried to contact them but, so far, I haven't received an reply.
Although I am not a MW contributor, I think it is my duty to report this illegal action.
Thanks for developing such a useful software.

Note, well i find it distatsteful that they didn't open source thier stuff, its not a GPL violation unless they were also distributing the code (google AGPL vs GPL)
