Recently [1/2 year ago], one of Nginx's main two devs forked it into https://freenginx.org. Since then there seems to have been a flurry of activity in Nginx, especially among the official plugins.
Then, there is a also Tengine, a fork of Nginx by Taobao that is chugging along for the past ~13 years.
Long term, we have seen this happen with Mysql/Maria/Percona Server; having the fork keeps the main project open and active, but at some point I expect the fork to lose steam.
Would love to hear how someone who actually follows the DB space looks at these developments.
