Thoughts of note:
** There is distinct value in /not/ associating yourself directly with
political activism. Keeping a project apolitical can have a lot of
advantages in the long run. Notably you are not automatically co-opted
into supporting future political statements.
I am a strong supporter of free software -- as proven by my code output
-- but asking every contributor to buy into RMS's politics is a bit much.
** Naming discussions inevitably continue ad infinitum. Everybody has
an opinion, different from the last. IMO you'll save yourself a lot of
"rebranding" trouble if you stick with the [IMO well-chosen] existing names.
"RMS was the first key player to talk to me" isn't a great reason for
rebranding, given the inevitable confusion rebranding causes.
** If you want to sell proprietary IP, GPL often gives you more control
than X11/mit license.
** Also on the subject of branding: opengraphics.org should be the
"brand" that users see. duskglow.com is nowhere near as good or
memorable a name. Consider putting the Wiki and other stuff under that
domain.
