The last update to the project was 5 years ago. So, it looks like no one is maintaining this project/tool. Is anyone using the tool? Is there any kind of end-of-life policy for projects on sourceforge?

I am actually building a COM unit test tool. Yeah, I know COM is dead, but it's a good way to really learn about how test frameworks work.

My tool is implemented in C++ so no VB6 runtime dependency. It'll leverage the typelib in order to eliminate all the runtime test registration stuff. It'll be able to run all the tests of a DLL (again w/ no special registration calls or configuration).

Anyway, I would love to use the name COMUnit. Does anyone care if I do??

Actually, it might be nice to re-use the ActiveX control of the old COMUnit in the new one. Can I get permission to use that? Do I need permission if I cite where it came from?

  This project does not seem to be actively developed any more, but the thing it produced (COMUnit) is being actively used by corporations to test COM code.
  
  I would recommend finding a unique name for your new unit testing system.
