Rasmus,
As both a SkySQL VP and a board member, could you answer one question:
What was the involvement (c.f. no involvement, passive notice, active agreement, approval, rejection, etc.) of the MariaDB Foundation and its board in the current/new uses of the MariaDB trademark: the MariaDB.com site and design itself, the phrase "MariaDB Enterprise", etc.?
The Foundation has been informed up front, but I want to re-iterate that this is work in progress and that there will be more news coming around the topics in a fairly near future.
Additionally, should not MariaDB.com say in its footer "2013 © SkySQL" not "2013 © MariaDB" since, by my understanding "MariaDB" is not itself some commercial entity? Otherwise you're essentially acting as "SkySQL d/b/a MariaDB" which is unnecessarily confusing and ambiguous as to the position/relationship of the MariaDB Foundation.
Yes, it should be copyrighted SkySQL. Thanks for noticing! It will be corrected. BR, Rasmus
