Richard Stallman didn't like .gnu or .upd as Internet Top Level
domains.  He suggested .freedom as a more general term.  I think .free
would be a better choice.

A tld like .free would suggest certain ways to managing it, but what
would they be?

  Would .free to a "first come first serve" TLD, available without
restrictions, unlike say copyleft restrictions (I would as assume so).

Would it generate revenue for the development of free software?  Maybe
not, if it was "free".  Who would "control" the .free TLD?
