What about AnythingYouLike.os   with an .os TLD standing for open source?

dot os for open source TLD is multi-national, a necessary advance on .com
and with a clearer philosophy than most .org TLDs. I think it'd be popular

It would mean that everything served from an address ending in .os would 
be free .. music, art, computer programs, green-car designs etc, or else
laughed at by a self regulating TLD user community. I think the World OS
community, as a development of the world .com community, now needs a home.
