Correct me if I'm wrong, but the code has changed as well, including switching parts to C++ and integrating Perl as a scripting language. That, more than the content, makes the project different IMHO.

AFAIK, cat2 is still Crossfire: although some of the game content is different, the server code is basically the same. Thus, yes, that's the same application for me.

Are you joking ? "Crossfire2" presents your project as the 'next version' of Crossfire (which is still in the 1.x series). Are you so naive to believe that using the same name for both projects does not create confusion between both ?
