This may be nitpicking, but: isn't your project about *creating* something free (libre), as opposed to 'liberating something that is not free'? Reading 'liberation' actually reminds me of groups like the 'Liberation Front of Palestine' (Monty Python, Life of Brian). That is, people trying to liberate people/stuff that is already there, but not free. I would consider this an offensive undertaking. Because the stuff that already exists -- in your case hardware made by ATI, Nvidia... well, it's not yours. But clearly you don't want to 'liberate' ATI cards. You are creating a libre alternative. I suggest to use a name describing the free/libre nature of your design, and avoid the term 'liberation'. IMO the term "free" is just fine. It has known shortcomings, but it is also commonly used, despite those shortcomings. (Sorry for my poor wording.)
