    This is probably properly outside the scope of this research, but people
    often suggest things like these as examples when asked for projects whose

    * Blender
    * StarOffice
    * Qt

    after companies that were developing them shut down.
    
    Maybe more ambiguous cases:
    
    * Games from id software (routinely released/relicensed after the end of
      their main commercial viability, but not on a schedule and not with a
      public commitment to do so?)
