Called OpenServing, it will be run by Wikipedia's commercial arm, Wikia Inc. Even so, it builds on the open source philosophy and the hosting service will allow users to keep any advertising revenue. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales also asks that sites link back to Wikia.com.

The move follows last week's announcement that Amazon.com is Wikia's first corporate investor and the sole investor in Wikia's second round of funding.
