Freenet's FAQ explains which name applies to what and who is working on what.
Basically Ian Clarke (Freenet's founder) started a new project called Locutus, whilst the original codebase/architecture continued under the Freenet name.
At a later date, Locutus changed its name to Freenet, whilst the original Freenet changed its name to Hyphanet.
Summary: If today you want to go with the original Freenet code/architecture, use Hyphanet. If today you want to go with the original Freenet founder, use Freenet.
