The article cites CouchDB as how this kind of thing can play out differently for open-source software. The first example that came to my mind was Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems, and the subsequent MySQL forks (e.g. MariaDB). Of course, we still have MySQL today, and AFAIK it remains to be seen what will happen to FoundationDB. I doubt Apple will kill it.
