   @mainframed767 MariaDB. I got one.

   I'm expecting WordPress soon.

   And four dozen that ended poorly.

     @elfin @mainframed767 mariaDB has been sold to venture capitalists so I don't think that really worked out so well for anyone except Monty

     @elfin @mainframed767 FreeBSD was maybe but not really rage fork of 4.4BSD
     
     OpenBSD was rage fork of NetBSD
     
     DragonflyBSD was rage fork of FreeBSD
     
     These are all thriving or at least not decaying
     
     LibreSSL had temporary success and then flopped
     
     LibreOffice might count
     
     Kodi/Emby?
     
     Gitea/Forgejo ??

     @vhns @feld @mainframed767 We still need a complete rewrite. Some tools are too entrenched.

     I use PostFix which is compatible with sendmail through shim-calls, or it wouldn't survive five minutes.

     TLS would benefit from refactoring OpenSSL.

     I mean, first change the fucking name. It's TLS, come on.

     @feld @mainframed767

     BSD=>BSDi (ask me when I'm drunk)=>FreeBSD=>OpenBSD BSD is A Whole Different Thing. It is fearsome.

     StarOffice=>OpenOffice=>LibreOffice (as I use Libre, assume bias) is a really great example. ALSO yanked from (fucking) Oracle and *made better*.
     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice#/media/File:StarOffice_major_derivatives.svg

     I use BackdropCMS which is a fork of Drupal7 (and I'm porting modules now that I can). I like Backdrop way better than D7, and it forked because of a scandal that was handled poorly and D8 was shit. MMV

     @elfin @mainframed767 I'm mad because we had two boxed copies at an old job and there was one fully intact manual and our boss took it to show someone and lost it

     @feld @mainframed767 That's a bummer.
     My Santa Cruz Operation Enterprise CDs are in (checks notes) Klammeth. I'll get you photos when I make a VM for entertainment.

     Windows NT 4 stuff I think. And some (@$#*%&!) Novell tripe.
