How's that not pretty common?

And how this would be an argument to anything? Violence against women is pretty common as well all around the world. I knew you less fatalistic.

That being said, your example is extremly different. As far as I can read, the MariaDB is mostly developed by engineers from MariaDB Corporation. So it is a sort of outcome that the corporation decided to put in open source (note that I might be wrong).

For SageMath, the situation is different. As the software came first and most people developing it are not from SageMath Inc. But developers have no right on whatever is doing SageMath Inc. For this reason, I definitely understand the bad feeling of Nathann. Having more distinction between SageMath (the software) and SageMath (the corporation) would be better.
