It doesn't need to be compatible or open-source right?
I know a lot of closed source projects that use MediaWiki and just leave a note that part xxxx is under license xxx by authors xxx.

MediaWiki is open source. The license is the GPL version 2. If you use the GPL or a compatible license for your project, then everything should be okay.

Hello All,
I am planning to develop a new Open Source project keeping mediawiki as
the
baseline. I wonder how the liciening policy of mediawiki will affect my intention. Could somebody help me on whether it is possible to develop my own app using mediawiki and distribute it as an opensource project?
