MariaDB [1] is a community developed fork of MySQL, so you can feel free to use that in place of MySQL.
Another alternative would be Percona [2] which is a drop-in replacement for Oracle MySQL.
About PostgreSQL I haven't had that much of personal experience with it, but for sure I plan to learn it, because it has been battle-tested for years with lots of well-known projects, such as Django framework, for instance.
