Description We provide a counterexample to a theorem of Ford, namely a pushout square of categories with all involved functors injective, such that there is no associated exact "Mayer-Vietoris" sequence of derived limits. Further, we construct a Mayer-Vietoris sequence for derived (co) limits under some additional hypotheses, extending the well-known case of a pushout square of group monomorphisms.
