Future of MariaDB?

Where I work, we depend heavily on MySQL. We were recently made aware
that Oracle may be slowly closing the source of MySQL; though we are a
Sun customer, we depend heavily (and prefer) open source. I mentioned
this to my boss and his response was to ask of the future of MariaDB --
because if this project doesn't survive, we're stuck with having to
find yet another DB -- in that case, we might have to drink the Oracle
koolaid if it comes to that, or move to PostgreSQL (something I've
never touched).

Commentary on these topics would be interesting to hear.
