Stuart,

Apache Kafka comes to mind as an example of Open-Source protocol which had displaced many closed-source alternatives. 

Another example is the adoption of BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) for biometric sensors (e.g. heart rate monitors). BLE has Open-Source implementations and is steadily displacing proprietary protocols such as Garmin ANT.

Other than that, the evolution of peer-to-peer file sharing protocols can be relevant:
Closed-source protocols such as Kazaa or eD2k gained initial popularity in the early 2000s but failed eventually.

On the other hand, Bit Torrent remained relevant for more than 30 years. As you probably know, the LEDBAT CCA has originated from Bit Torrent.

Omer
