There was an early-access sponsorship system but there was never a
public commitment to relicense the code under an open source license.
The developer later stopped working on the project and then relicensed
it as MIT in its entirety.

* OPSI ["co-funding"](https://www.opsi.org/de/dokumentation/opsi-lizenz-und-copyright) (see also [this forum link](https://forum.opsi.org/viewtopic.php?t=1193))
They have clearly used a form of delayed open source release in the past in
connection with a bounty-like co-funding mechanism, which is still alluded
to on the company's web site. However, it's not clear that this model is
actively used anymore for the majority of development (if at all), as most
of the code appears to be under an open core model with a subscription model
for proprietary extensions.

# Not software
* Rockefeller University Press Journal of Cell Biology has a delayed
open access policy with delayed relicensing of academic journal articles
(although the end license is a noncommercial Creative Commons license
so it would not be considered open source)
* Maybe there are other examples of delayed open access in journals with
formal relicensing that would be considered fully open source (if the
articles were software)?
