No. The "KFreeBSD" abbreviation refers to FreeBSD's kernel, not to FreeBSD.
The FreeBSD people (or anyone else) might choose to use that abbreviation
for referring to FreeBSD's kernel is they like.
Noone asked the FreeBSD developers (or anyone else) to use that abbreviation.
If they like it, they're welcome to use it. Otherwise they might just keep
saying "FreeBSD's kernel" or "kernel of FreeBSD" as usual.
