I think you're stirring up everybody becauseyou say things like:

But GNU already HAS the primary goal of freedom!
I believe your point is to create a label that transports the
value more clearly.
And i must say i thought about that sometimes, too:
The OSI has a sticker that indicates stuff that is open source
with the green cut open "O".
Nothing like that exists for free software.
But then again you should see that you don't want to "relaunch"
GNU, since GNU is Not Unix, and is a big project.
Ah sorry, I think I was unclear.
When I said "relaunch" I only meant it in an advertising/publicity
sense. The system itself would not be new, and would not have been
written from scratch!
Rather, I think since GNU is so unheard of these days, it could be a
neat trick to "launch" it as a "new" operating system, which looks
like a distribution of "Linux" but is better not for technical reasons
but for moral reasons.
