What about DBD::MariaDB as that‘s the name of the OpenSource version these days?
No, MariaDB is simply a fork of MySQL. 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.
