MariaDB® is based on the MySQL server ® Server 5.1 code base and offers an interesting alternative to MySQL® in light of the uncertaintity about the long term licensing policy for MySQL.
Both databases are released under the GPL v2 license.

See the MariaDB developers' comparison for more information about the compatibility of MariaDB® and MySQL®.

That MariaDB is a robust and long term alternative to MySQL can be seen, for example, in that it is now used for the Wikipedia sites instead of MySQL.
