# Unscheduled / post-hoc / one-off relicensing
This is probably properly outside the scope of this research, but people
often suggest things like these as examples when asked for projects whose
open source publication was "delayed".
* Netscape Navigator
* Blender
* StarOffice
* Qt
... and probably dozens, if not hundreds, of codebases that were released
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?)
