I hate to create a duplicate thread, but with the release of 1.0.25.4 and the upcoming 1.0.26 release, the EVEMon project has moved to a new home at battleclinic.
Can one of the forum mods please update the links in the top EVEMon post, and then delete this thread if need be?
The main site: http://evemon.battleclinic.com
The source repository ("verify it for yourself"): http://evemon.battleclinic.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/browser/EVEMon/trunk
Screenshots: http://evemon.battleclinic.com/screenshots.html
Thanks!

Also, be aware that the new version will not be autoupdated. 1.0.25.4 and up use a different autoupdate system.

I was one of the developers of evemon when six was controlling the project. No one has heard from six in a few months, and I have sent six many emails in the last several weeks, none of which has been answered. Because six is the only one with access to the old site, we cannot make any updates or release a new version. The current version has several bugs that we would like to see fixed, including one that CCP would like to see fixed, but we can't do anything about it.
If six comes back, it's still his project. His name is still at the top of every list. It is not our intention to steal ANYTHING here, we're merely trying to continue the project the best way we can while six is gone, whether that absence is temporary or permanent. If you have any questions, I encourage you to continue to post here, or email me at [email protected].

Oh, and if you have any way to get ahold of Six, please please let me know. We would like, at the very least, his approval, but right now our assumption is that he has just fallen off the face of the earth.

Well, I've mailed Six (--edit: as in mailed outside the game). And for that matter, I'm pretty sure he was working on it ALONE.
If you look at the original, six-run repository here, you'll see my name on a lot of things. I really am trying to do what's right for the community here, and keep things moving forward.

Well, then you did contribute. However without his approval, you're only allowed to treat your project as a fork, which requires a name change, since GPL doesn't mean there's no copyright, which includes the application name.
I wanted to avoid doing that if at all possible, since if six comes back, it's my assumption that he'll take control of the project again. I don't want there to be two different evemons. The only reason for this fork is that development of the existing project on the existing repository is, for all intents and purposes, impossible.
I guess, if the copyright holder protests our use of his copyright, that would mean we've heard from him, and at that point we'll do whatever he wants with the project.

I'm a law student; I take law stuff seriously. A name change appears to be all that would be required by the license.
But by that token (and my understanding), the only person who can formally protest misuse of the copyright is the copyright holder, and we've made it clear what our reaction to such a protest will be. I'm trying to decide which would be more divisive - changing the name to "EVEThing Continued" or leaving it as we have it right now.

I've left messages on the goonforum for six as well, and that thread looks pretty much like this one. A lot of the same people, in fact - it's nice to see how protective the goons are of their guy, in any case :)
In other news, for the 2 people that are still reading this thread, it looks like I'm going to gencon this weekend, so if you're going to check out the ccg, maybe you'll see me there, scamming the ccg reps for L33t 1nf0z.

I think that if it does fork officially it will get to a point quite quickly that wont allow for reintegration back into the 1.0.24 base. But they might just have to be the way it goes for it to continue.
Another reason why I don't see it as a real fork. As a fairly long time contributor to the project, and the only person besides Six with control of the evercrest-based repository, I see this as a continuation.
