The MariaDB Server is and always will be opensource.
I notice that mariadb.com talks about an Enterprise offering ("The new gold
standard for database high availability" -- ?!?), which from my understanding
has nothing to do with the MariaDB Server. Your feedback is important, and I
tend to agree with you - it sure does sound confusing. I will pass this
feedback on to the person responsible for this.
And with regards to your topic on download numbers -- note that they're hugely
not a representation of our userbase. We cannot count users in distributions,
large scale installs, etc. We also naturally see a huge discrepancy when it
comes to opt-in statistics:
http://mariadb.org/feedback_plugin/stats/server_count_by_month/
Anyway, thank you for your valuable feedback and lets all focus on making
MariaDB better!
cheers,
-colin
