> Has this happened, ever? Can you name one significant project that has been killed by a proprietary derivative made possible through its permissive licensing?

Trying to summarize (and simplify) other answers: No. But overpowered by a competing GPL project: Yes.

Sometimes the GPL works best, sometimes it's BSD... "it depends" looks like the only correct answer.

I guess a lot of people are not interested in what "works best" anyway, but rather in what they feel is the Right Thing for them.
