Right: GRASS GIS went into incubation in 2006 while its development
was started back in 1982 :-)

Here the related wiki page from 2006-2008:

>From my point of view (as PSC chair) it was a very demanding but
absolute necessary exercise for us to review the source code (close to
1 million LOC), the community health, infrastructure migration into
OSGeo, project management structures and more. The incubation process
was kindly supported by our incubation mentors Norman Vine and Arnulf
Christl.

Best,
