Well. I was thinking about German some more today. Word splicing
is standard practice in that language.
Freigraphik Projekt
FreiGraphik Projekt
Native speakers will surely correct any spelling errors.
In French, it would probably be hyphenated, rather than squished. I

Another English variation might be
Graphics Liberation Project
