FreeCraft Update
Well, on the old forums I posted about how Blizzard had complained about freecraft and the freecraft crew decided to shut down rather than face legal difficulties.
They have split the game data from the engine, and released it under the name Stratagus - so it's not over, just a new focus.

Stratagus sounds like an odd option. FO isn't Real-time strategy.
FreeOrion isn't in (realistic) danger of being sued. Microprose/Quicksilver doesn't own the word "Orion." As has been mentioned previously, FO has a distinct name and will have distinct gameplay. On the other had, FreeCraft was pretty much a rip off of WarCraft.
Though i certainly wouldn't be dissapointed if FO changed it's name. FreeOrion is bland and sounds like a much less original game that it's actually planned to be.
