I've migrated workloads off of Oracle onto MySQL. They are absolutely competing products.

We can both name 11 things Oracle can do that MySQL cannot, but it doesn't change the fact that many organizations chose between those two databases plenty of times before Oracle acquired Sun.

MariaDB was invested in at additional cost to the open source community after Oracle bought Sun. It's existence doesn't absolve Oracle of the path their ownership put MySQL on.
