Mollom has released a publicly available version of its WordPress plugin.

Unlike the others such as Akismet, TypePad AntiSpam, and Defensio, Mollom alters the comments database table to add a field. I don’t usually think that’s a good idea, but other, popular plugins do it.

Curiously, none of TypePad, Defensio, or Mollom uses text localization, so they must not be planning to offer versions in languages other than English.
