It's just that most people don't know that MariaDB doesn't have the brand recognition and that people don't know that MariaDB is aiming to be as much a drop in replacement for MySQL as possible. I think they claim 99% compatible... I assume Oracle wants people to remain in ignorance as well.
I know the above and I'm not even trying to pay attention to database software development. Anybody who has been reading Linux-related news over the last few years would know about MariaDB. People whose job it is to deploy database systems really have no excuse if they aren't aware of major shifts in the field such as the emergence of MariaDB and other forks following Oracle's purchase of Sun.
