There was recently some fun drama with an open-source game modding tool where the project lead (who didn't actually contribute all that much) booted out all the other developers to, uh, fight against left-wing queer ideology or something. (This is a Minecraft launcher, so I'm not even sure how that would work.
) The other developers just forked it and pretty much everyone switched over to the fork, lol.
