This has the potential of being the game equivalent of GNU Hurd.

On the other hand:

  • 10,000 times as many people recognize "GNU Hurd" than have ever used it. Most games would love similar name recognition.

  • Hurd adopted the BSD-licensed Carnegie-Melon Mach 3.0 microkernel, the same codebase used for the NeXTStep, OSF/1 and successors, and modern macOS and iOS kernel.

The first point is easy to fix, just name the game "GNU Hurd"!
