An operating system specifically for my needs, will be renamed when the kernel is actually useful. As it stands consider this a research project.
The founding thought of this operating system is that all changes to the operating system should be a ledger of sorts. Imagine the operating system as being version controlled, at any point you should be able to roll back changes.
As it stands right now, the software will pick the most flexible open source license. This software is not intended to be proprietary now or ever.
