The setup is: Wiki is run on the same server (domain) where the web-client (javascript+flash) is distributed from. The web-client uses MediaWiki more like a database-service (and possible for html-generation). As for license, I plan on using the zlib-license since it's not as restrictive as GPL in terms of commercial use, hence why I would like to know how the MediaWiki GPL affects the web-client application.
