Not really, MariaDB has nowhere near the adoption levels MySQL has.

Even so, MySQL was one of the biggest gratis databases, and it happened to be bought by a company that specialized in selling established enterprise database software. There was concern RE the support a gratis database would have under such a company.

The situation that created MariaDB is very specific, and very different to the one Node.js is in.

I think the XOrg fork from XFree86 is the best example I can think of.
