Apache:
OpenBSD was stuck on Apache 1.3 for ages because the license changes for Apache 2.0+ was incompatible. They also ended up maintaining their own fork for quite a while because patches to improve security were not being accepted upstream (I think)

License is fine, but it's getting feature bloat and the local patchset was getting unwieldy.
Conclusion: roll your own httpd that way you don't have to deal with this anymore.

For anyone else curious about the initial discussion of this, it took me some browsing to find http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=107714762916291&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=107714762916291&w=2 (2004)
