So apparently this project isn't the old Freenet, that's been renamed to "Hyphanet" - https://www.hyphanet.org https://www.hyphanet.org. The same team started a new project, originally called "Locutus" and then renamed that to Freenet. A bit confusing.
I remember hearing about Freenet like 20 years ago, I think on Kuro5hin, kind of amazing it's still going.

- ArneBab 2y agoIt’s not the same team. The Freenet Team is developing Hyphanet now. Ian had not been active in Freenet development for over a decade (he managed the non-profit but didn’t interact with actual development) before he started Locutus. He initially started Freenet in 1999, but had long been absent. The renaming was done against the explicit objection of the core development team. For further background, see the links in https://www.hyphanet.org/freenet-renamed-to-hyphanet.html https://www.hyphanet.org/freenet-renamed-to-hyphanet.html Hyphanet is the original Freenet and the next release is just blocked by finalizing the new signing setup for the Windows installer.
