I am continuing the development, but do not have the copyright.

You should get the copyright owner to assign copyright to you, as, currently, no-one is able to enforce the licence except for non-trivial parts of the code contributed by third parties, given the current owner seems to have lost interest.

If it is an important project, the FSF might also be willing to buy the copyright for a token amount (one cent or one dollar), but I think that would require that right in all contributions have been assigned to the original owner.
