Does the MapLibre initiative plan to fork the related projects from
the mapbox/mapbox-gl-* ecosystem?

It seems the core dependencies are also being re-licensed [1]
It also seems the Mapbox Maven repositories no longer offer all
dependencies required to build the existing open sources of the Mapbox
ecosystem for mobile platforms [2]
