The sourceforge project is based on AGG 2.4 and retains the permissive license. Version 2.5 was released with exactly the same code as 2.4 but with a GPL license. No futher work was ever done on version 2.5 to my knowledge.
Just to clarify that I understood correctly -- all the changes made on this repo, for example version 2.7 https://sourceforge.net/p/agg/svn/134/ continue to retain the old permissive license.
Do you know if the forked agg-2.5 version matained somewhere else?
Thanks,

Your understanding is correct. I am not aware of any actively maintained fork of the GPL'd agg-2.5.
I know of this Git repo which has some commits against the GPL 2.5 version. I think it's just an unofficial fork, but it's something at least.

And this one is listed as 2.6 and has even more commits and more recent changes.

I'm also maintaining my own fork at https://github.com/cppfw/agg
I have done some changes there too (check pull requests).
