+Yes, skysql is a company providing service for mariadb (and mysql). 
+According to the younbg lady I met at the Fossgis, Monty is also 
+somehow connected to skysql but he wanted to make sure, the 
+development of maridb is independent from the company selling services 
+for it.
+
+To the drizzle project that was mentioned in this thread, I can say 
+nothing. I heard of it for the first time now.
+And I would prefer mariadb were Monty (as the original mysql founder) 
+is involved...
