You are describing BSD... License restrictions = pretty much nil. You see features and even code from BSD in many, many places.

"TOSS" implies everything else is "(Fake)OSS". Pick another acronym that doesn't insult the world, I think.

If you're not writing a new kernel from scratch, you're not making a new operating system, just a new distribution.

There is some open hardware out there, but all the really complicated stuff, like video cards, blur the line between hardware and software heavily, to the point that they couldn't release source if they wanted to -- too many industry secrets. Even inside processors these days there is 'code' (microcode) that you cannot access or control.
