They are not literal forks, though. They relate historically, but then so do
MacOS and Windows. Both are examples of competing projects rather than forks.

The BSDs are the classic example of a content fork. The XFree86 fork is a good

Heh. No, that was a "license fork". ;-)

Both were made possible by the absence of a copyleft on the originals.
Of course, it's debatable whether that's a good or bad thing (I lean
towards the latter, but I do have good reasons to approve of *certain*
projects being non-copyleft).
