Another example from the past: http://cbbrowne.com/info/x11r6.4.html

x.org changed the license on X11R6.4 to proprietary but had to restore the original license. XFree86 was staying with X11R6.3 in the meantime. Now XFree86 changed the license and x.org is working on the fork. The history repeats itself.
