PDFsharp is the name for both, the PDFsharp Project and the PDFsharp Library.
PDFsharp Project is the name for the whole. It includes PDFsharp Library, MigraDoc Foundation, and all repositories.

So PDFsharp 6 refers to the latest version of the PDFsharp Project. The version is 6, because it was originally designed to work with .NET 6 or higher only. But with PDFsharp 6.1 both PDFsharp Library and MigraDoc Foundation are also available for the target .NET Framework 4.7.2 / .NET Standard 2.0.

This is a site that contains information about PDFsharp 6 and higher. A general overview about older versions of PDFsharp and MigraDoc can be found on the version 1.x web site.
