"Licensing hassles". That's silly. 99% of people using MySQL or PostgreSQL will never have to think about the license. LGPL is sufficient for making software that interacts with the database without having any obligation to provide source for anything other than changes you make to the database software. So, unless you're shipping the database itself as your product, you don't need to care about the license of MySQL/MariaDB or Postgres beyond knowing you can use them as a database for your products without encumbrance. I consider PostgreSQL the better database most days, but license FUD is counter-productive.
