I agree - I didn't realise it was a listed company. Does it compete with Oracle or SQL Server in terms of features?

My recollection is that it was created when Oracle took over MySQL in order to continue to have a community-driven GPLv2 "mysql compatible" server; I was expecting them to be more different than they are, but for comparison one is a "clean" GPLv2" and the other has more words and a link to oracle.com: https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/blob/mysql-8.0.31/LICE... https://github.com/MariaDB/server/blob/mariadb-10.11.1/COPYI...

Absolutely not. It's main feature is being wire compatible with mysql.

It’s just a fork of mysql.

Yeah that was my recollection. I thought putting a company behind it might have changed that but apparently not.

but an incompatible fork. There are many major differences between MySQL and MariaDB. https://mariadb.com/database-topics/mariadb-vs-mysql/

It wasn't an incompatible fork at first. It's now diverged a bit.
