Uhmm, yeah.
I took it from the upstream GitHub though. But I can throw that part out for our docs.
Licenses are a topic in DB world though, and I can totally see why MariaDB want to use it as a leverage over competition.

I think either throwing that part out or replacing it with something from the https://mariadb.org/about/ 2nd paragraph starting with "MariaDB Server turns data into structured information in a wide array of applications" would be good

Containers seem to be provided as only versioned, there is not a tag "fedora/mariadb" on registry.fedoraproject.org (redirects to https://quay.io/organization/fedora ).
Also use ideally full image name including the domain including the registry image is pulled from, e.g.:
podman pull registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora/mariadb
