See the RoboVasion FAQ (What happened to the original Freecraft?) for
my view on the things that happened:

The current plans are to transform RoboVasion just into a game using
Freecraft/Stratagus as it was originally planed, it will not fork the
engine. Instead Stratagus will do the fork and make the engine a bit
more generic:
* http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/tmp/stratagus/
The FcMP graphics and sound will become part of the Aleonas Tales
projects:
* http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/tmp/aleona/
The Warcraft2 compability tools might become part of the Wargus
project (logo and name might be temporary, no webpage yet and no
maintainer):
* http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/tmp/wargus.png
So work is underway to get most or all of Freecraft back online,
basically just with a namechange and a bit cleanup.
