Damn, indexing is fast. Pretty much the only reference I can find after simple searching is this post as to what "UZI" is/was.

Re: Linux or GNU/Linux Posted Aug 9, 2012 2:19 UTC (Thu) by malcolmt (guest, #65441) [Link] UZI was Doug Braun's Unix for the (Zilog) Z80 chip. There's an explanation here and code download available, too.

I hadn't heard of UZI. Searched a bit, and Alan Cox has mentioned several times, including perhaps a naming thread, pre-invention of the "GNU/Linux" moniker -- https://lkml.org/lkml/1996/3/7/8
Also quoted in https://lkml.org/lkml/1996/4/22/21 "BTW when I was first on the net there were all sorts of 'hurd is too ambitious we should base it on UZI' type discussions." Too bad those aren't indexed, AFAICT.
I'd enjoy reading a history of "[FSF] turned down the use of UZI".
