The cost is quite good. You can have the open source, free version, which has adequate capacity. Compared to Oracle, MariaDB has a more flexible policy and less officials. Oracle is too big of an organization, and they do certain things that leave a sour taste in our mouth. Dealing with a smaller company is sometimes better, especially for smaller systems.

I would rate the licensing cost as nine out of 10.

The solution is free, but if you want the enterprise version you will need to pay for some licenses but the cost is less than other solutions, such as Oracle.

I rate the product's price a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price since there are some support costs involved, even though it isn't an open-source solution.

I can't speak to the exact pricing.

The cost of licensing is dependent on the projects. We have many types of licensing. We have a subscription and we also have some like lesson sheets that we buy. After, we just pay for the maintenance.

I haven't used the licensing model for MariaDB, but I would prefer to use it since I am familiar with the platform and find it easy to work with. I wouldn't want to switch to a different database management system.

We use the open source edition which doesn't require licensing. We don't offer the enterprise edition, because if we're taking the customer off Oracle, for the additional benefits, we have to optimize the cost. If we have a customer with budget constraints, it's saving hundreds of thousands of dollars, sometimes millions, if we use MariaDB instead of Oracle.

Most of our customers will not consider MySQL/MariaDB if they need to pay for a license. Unfortunately, it is still an Oracle dominated market. Normally, the community version is well accepted because no license cost is involved.

MySQL is under a license for Oracle, which means that it is free and cheaper than other systems and databases. 

When it comes to MariaDB, it should have a more cost-effective license.
