Hoi,
The traditional stance "MediaWiki is software written to run Wikimedia
projects" is no longer based in facts, multiple other organisations have
extended the MediaWiki software. Do not be confused, MediaWiki has an
application far wider than just the Wikimedia Foundation projects.
Thanks,
GerardM

I think it's very important to remember that MediaWiki is a product
which is used in thousands of installations across the world, to power
the collaborative editing and information sharing needs of a wide
variety of organisations, from fan projects to schools, colleges and
universities, to whacking great big, well-known companies such as
Intel and Novell.
Slight tangent here...
The traditional stance has always been "MediaWiki is software written to
run
Wikimedia projects". If you want to use it for other purposes then fine,
but we're not going to add features that aren't useful to WMF
(particularly
in relation to access-restrictions and the user/group model).
What you're saying here seems to be the opposite of that. I am confused!
