They had this "You Can Take Over Abandoned Projects" policy for years: https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Abandoned%20Projects/ https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Abandoned%20Pr... I took over APNG project in 2011, nice short name, it was really abandoned, and I don't feel bad about it: https://sourceforge.net/projects/apng/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/apng/

Sure, but this is Sourceforge itself doing the taking over, and they're offering the same downloads (plus their wrappers and what-not) rather than reusing the name for a different project.
