I'm presuming we're talking about BSD-style licenses here - with the GPL, AFAIK, the code cannot be "closed" once it's open, as any derivitive works must also be released under the GPL. -C
More than one nominally open-source project has switched to a commercial codebase by changing it's licensing terms for a new release, and allowing people to do whatever they want (including forking a different branch) from the last public code release under open license. One example familiar to most of those here would be GateD.
