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?
Thanks,
