I didnt know there was a mariadb company and that they were public. Does this have implications for mariadb as a product?
It really doesn’t matter much anymore. MariaDB doesn’t have the significance it once had. Worst case scenario if it were to disappear people would switch to Postgres and that’s that.
Huh? Postgresql is not mysql compatible. Mariadb is very popular in a ton of businesses around the world as a not stupidly expensive sql database with great support.
Meh, time for another fork.
To those people saying switch to MySQL, they miss the point - MySQL and Maria are basically interchangeable, Maria was made to replace MySQL like for like when oracle took over. It was made by the same guy (et al) and he he named both after his daughters.
When Maria is taken over the same thing will happen. I for one hope that it is named for Widenius’ other child, max.

He’s got a kid called MySQL?
MySQL (/ˌmaɪˌɛsˌkjuːˈɛl/)[5] is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS).[5][6] Its name is a combination of “My”, the name of co-founder Michael Widenius’s daughter My,[7] and “SQL”.
My Widenius-SQL 😂
She’s like the real life Bobby Tables.
