Have any LGPL projects been forked and stayed LGPL after the fork? [closed]

Have any LGPL projects been forked in such a way that they stayed LGPL after the fork? I'd like to know if it is possible (has been done).

Assumptions for scenario:
(1) GPL Version exists before fork
(2) LGPL Version exists before fork

After fork, can fork be LGPL or must it be GPL?

If you can obtain the code under the terms of the LGPL it is your right to re-publish it, or your modified version of it, under the same terms.

It doesn't matter whether the code may also be obtained under the terms of the GPL, the pink piggy license or any other license.

The only matter for you is: Do I have the code under LGPL? If yes, I can go LGPL. If no, I can only go LGPL if one of the licenses I have is LGPL compatible.
