If it was me, I'd keep cranking out superior databases, selling them for a billion, and starting on the next one as fast as they'd buy em :)

  I think that's what Stonebreaker did with PostgreSQL, VoltDB, Vertica...

    Not sure if intentional, but Stonebreaker is an awesome misspelling of Stonebraker.

      Yes, I misspelled Stonebraker, thanks for the correction.

  I think it would be a bit premature to call MariaDB superior to MySQL. Also it should be noted that the InnoDB storage engine was developed outside of MySQL AB. InnoDB is a helluva lot better than MyISAM for most applications because of performance and support for transactions, consistency, etc. Without it I don't think that MySQL would be a good candidate for many applications, particularly given that Postgres has improved a lot. I.e. I'm not sure Monty should really get credit for everything about MySQL/MariaDB.
