So far I think this was be the best in terms of ease of comprehension
by outsiders... may be it could be further qualified as
"Free and Open App Store"? (FOAS)
for that wikipedia knows only
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOAS
Future Offensive Air System
http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/FOAS
provides more thorough coverage of the acronym:
FOAS Future Offensive Air System
FOAS First Order Abstract Syntax (computing)
FOAS Fiber Optic Acoustic Sensors (Northrop Grumman)
FOAS Friends of Albert Schweitzer (England, UK)
FOAS Footsteps of a Stranger (song)
FOAS Friends of the Animal Shelter of St. Bernard, Inc. (Chalmette, LA)
so it seems that even trademark-ing could be available ;-)
in contrast to
http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/FOSS
it is even more unique:
FOSS Free and Open Source Software
FOSS Free / Open-Source Software
FOSS Full Option Science System
FOSS Fiber-Optic Sensor System
FOSS Forum of Small States (UN)
FOSS Follow-On System Stock
FOSS Fiber Optics Sonar System
FOSS Faculty Online Support Service
FOSS Federal Intelligence Security Service
FOSS Family Of System Study
