We disabled our SourceForge site 2014-08-30, and it used to be taken
down / not show up in search results. Looks like it's back up now?

nextgens - does SourceForge give any indication why they appear to have
reactivated Freenet's account?

There's a link on the page "As of 2015-06-14, this project may now be
found at https://freenetproject.org.";

I was worried about
https://github.com/freenet/fred/blob/next/src/freenet/node/Version.java#L41
but it looks like we can change 0.7.5 to 0.7.6. For correctness we
should change the build number to 1 for the new version, but that
wouldn't be practical because the update key edition is tied to the
build number.

We already tried deleting the account. My current understanding is they
have undeleted it.

If nothing else they're being abusive if they don't maintain the page
and yet don't allow us to take it down. They're using the project's name
against our wishes to get ad revenue.
