Wannabe nix guru starting a new os or distro

after much searching around there isn't a "TOSS" (True Open Source) solution, personally I did like OSS however now i believe that "so called" Free Software should be free & Free From any license restrictions

so as I feel that way I've decided to write new OS and I was thinking of basing it loosely on the Downloadable Solaris source code, or maybe someone could suggest a better base, I don't expect it will be very popular, I just happen to think that people (namely me) deserve a truly free OS

I also on hardwarefofums.com here:

Code:

http://www.hardwareforums.com/threads/oss-open-source-software-what-a-joke.38264/

a while ago so you know it's not a pie in the sky idea that will never take flight

I'm also thinking this would be a very good way to learn how nix works practically
I know this will be hard very bumpy road to travel, so i appreciate any help / advise offered

thank you very much for taking the time to read this,

thankies xxx

P.S. I also should add that I don't much care for money and people who are looking to get rich and as such I don't want to be either rich or famous, I just want an OS that is truly free & reasonably easy to port to other architectures, so I guess it could also beat Android at it's own game but that is not my intention, I suppose it possible be of use to some admins

i would also appreciate any help getting started

thankies
