I've been familiar with osFree for years. I wanted it to be successful, but the last release (0.0.4) was in 2009, and there has only been a handful of commits in the last few years. The forum is dead. At the current rate of progress, osFree will reach ReactOS 0.3.15-like milestones sometime in 3009, with a full v1.0 release expected before 5013.
I believe there are fewer people working on it than ROS. They do have a post dated 2011/10/27.
There are original free and open source operating systems. When it comes to FOS OSes that attempt full compatibility with a closed source OS, there's FreeDOS, Haiku and ReactOS, and a lot of projects that never got off the ground.
