"MariaDB" didn't go proprietary... holy shit, my heart stopped for a minute.

MAXSCALE 2.0, by MariaDB did. Stop spreading bullshit.

Which is to say that MariaDB Corp (which is not the MariaDB Foundation, which handles development of the database), is attempting to monetize a new version of one of its products (but again, not the core database software, just a routing/load-balancing proxy), by making initial releases only available under a commercial license.

The title seems a little sensationalist, since "MariaDB goes proprietary" seems to imply that the actual database software is going to cost money, which it is most certainly not.

Can a mod like dang please fix the headline to be more accurate please?
