CC'ing the list again, looks like you forgot.

Do you mean the one that was going to be an outgrowth of the FreeCraft
project? AFAIK, FreeCraft got a letter from Blizzard saying their name
was too confusing. They renamed to Stratagus and the WarCraft II
version was rebranded Wargus. I think the StarCraft client was shelved
and the engine used to make some other games (no idea what, though).
