MariaDB is a fork of MySQL. When MySQL was bought by Oracle, the original author of MySQL decided to start a new branch, which will always be Free Software and open to the contributions of the community.
The purpose of this book is to provide a user-friendly community-contributed manual for MariaDB. Because MariaDB is a fork, this manual won't explain the features of the "parent" software, which are described in the book MySQL.
Unlike the official MySQL documentation, this book is a Free project. It is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License 3.0 (Unported) and the GNU Free Documentation License.
