It depends on your definition of “kill”.

OpenSolaris -> Illumos

Hudson -> Jenkins

OpenOffice -> LibreOffice

MySQL -> MariaDB (not killed, but forked out of fear it would be)

And a non-Oracle example:

Node.js -> IO.js (arguable - forked because Node dev was stagnant, eventually merged)

All those had communities outside the main company long before they "moved out". What's the percentage of external contributors to GitLab? 1%?
