== About MariaDB ==

MariaDB is a fork of MySQL, created and maintained by the original MySQL developers. MariaDB is intended to remain free and is published under [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License|GPLv2]]. It is very similar to MySQL, meaning that most MySQL examples you find online will also work on MariaDB
