Hi, is it allowed to run a MediaWiki wiki for comercial use? For example, can I make ads on the wiki? Can I make the content copyrithed not open/under a free license? Can I disable the '''View source code''' feature for non login in users?

Thank you for help.

I'm not sure how to disable the "view source code" feature for non-login users.
