From the KompoZer web site www.kompozer.net:

Update: Nvu has been discontinued. Beware of scam sites pretending to be the Nvu website and asking for donations/support. The official site is gone, and there are no replacement sites. In the meantime, use KompoZer, which is just Nvu with some bug fixes and a new name.

Obviously, “beware of scam sites” refers to net2.com, which looks like Nvu’s official website. As such, it’s asking for donations/support for the Nvu project; since this site gets a lot of traffic, it probably gets much more financial support than kompozer.net itself. It does not mention anywhere that Nvu has been discontinued in 2005, and it only mentions KompoZer as an “alternative version”.
