No, it's not a mirror site. This french start-up is making all its business with Wikipedia. This company has a cache system and some kind of search engine that are both integrated by default in the french Wikipedia. I don't know if other Wikipedias use it.
Try doing a search on the word "sex" in Wikipedia fr ( http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Recherche ) with the option "Wikiwix". You will see ads related to porn sites, escort girl sites (!!), viagra....
Well, it's certainly a good deal for this start-up... But how is that possible??
Such partnership is simply... unbelievable.
I performed the search you suggested (here is the link: http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sp%C3%A9cial%3ARecherche&redir...) and did not find any advertisements. Perhaps you are mistaken?
