Hi there, I recently tried to create a project named `synthesis' on Google Code Hosting. Unfortunately, I was informed that because a project of the same name existed on SourceForge, I could not register it with Google Code either. I was also told that the owner of said project would be emailed to ask whether he would approve or deny my request, using his SF address.
Well, I checked the project on SourceForge, and there appears to have been no activity whatsoever in six years, which leads me to believe it has been abandoned. Furthermore, I made an effort to contact the owner directly, to ask for his permission, using both the SF address as well as his personal address, however, both messages immediately bounced, saying those accounts don't exist anymore. So it seems that sadly, this person may have fallen off the face of the Earth. Given these extenuating circumstances, and given that the existing project has long been abandoned, would it be possible for me to be able to use the name on Google's service for my own (unrelated) project? Your help is greatly appreciated :).
