I think a free version of OpenBSD would be a good idea. I like some of the aspects of the project, especially regarding security, although not the aversion towards copyleft.
You might want to check out the Trisquel issue tracker for examples of GNU FSDG issues that the project faces: https://trisquel.info/en/project/issues?text=GFSD&projects=&status=All&priorities=All&categories=All Some slightly more difficult FSDG issues that Trisquel faces include rebranding programs such as Firefox and Thunderbird (see the Trademarks section of the guidelines) and changing documentation to meet the guidelines. Note that OpenBSD provides Firefox and Thunderbird packages: http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/OpenBSD/5.6/packages/amd64/ Regarding escrow I think you'll need a more specific set of conditions for the release of funds (e.g. the scope of the project), where the money will go if the project fails, project timeline, etc. I think contacting the FSF for escrow is a good idea. I hope that helps and best of luck with your project. Andrew
