Conclusion status

No confirmed conclusion exists for this pair. The evidence below is presented for transparency; a relationship conclusion requires a human review that has not happened, or a previous decision no longer matches the current evidence.

Evidence suggests mariadb/server is a fork of mysql/mysql-server. Human review required before publication.

Seed context: Canonical adversarial lineage: MariaDB forked from pre-Git (Bazaar era) MySQL, so commit-history overlap methods must not be used; claims only.

Evidence (1)

Verbatim excerpts from official sources, whitespace-normalized. Full payloads are hashed and retained by the pipeline; collection failures never fabricate evidence.
