Both MariaDB and MySQL are Open Source. Saying only MariaDB is open source is wrong. I also disagree with using the MariaDB name as that sends the wrong message. Keeping the MySQL name says its for all the (API-compatible) forks while using the MariaDB name implies that the MariaDB fork is more special than the others. -- Darren Duncan
