Freenix is already used (and has been for many years) although not as an
operating system name. "Freenix", as I coined it back in '93 although it
was "rediscovered" recently by USENIX, is a generic name for free UNIX
systems.

This is the name of an informal french free UNIX users group (look at my
sig & address).
