After launching Acquia, which is a company that offers commercial Drupal services, Dries (founder of Drupal) is now launching new service called Mollom.

Mollom will be similar to Askimet and basic functionality will be to stop spam on your Drupal site. But Mollom will be more then that:

The web is changing. User contribution is now what makes or breaks a site. Allowing users to react, participate and contribute while still keeping your site under control can be a huge challenge. Mollom is a web service that helps you identify content quality and, more importantly, helps you stop comment and contact form spam. When moderation becomes easier, you have more time and energy to interact with your web community. Mollom is currently in public beta.

Basic Mollom services will always be free of charge, but for enterprise users which needs more paid services will be offered.
