I didnt know there was a mariadb company and that they were public. Does this have implications for mariadb as a product?

It really doesn't matter much anymore. MariaDB doesn't have the significance it once had. Worst case scenario if it were to disappear people would switch to Postgres and that's that.

MariaDB is a mysql based product like the Percona stuff right? I assume most users would switch to MySQL proper.

Postgres is often a better choice, but not an easy one for shops already in the mysql world.
