I don't live in Australia, so my opinion obviously doesn't count, but one
I might suggest thinking about is how "LegOz" would be pronounced. If it
comes out sounding like "legos," then it's being (IMHO) disrespectful to
LEGO, since they specifically ask people not to call their product "legos,"
and making an association like that seems a bit flippant to me.
On ther other hand, there's Markus Noga's legOS operating system for the RCX
brick...

...but actually, in that case, it's probably not problematic since OS (which
stands for Operating System) is always pronounced "oh ess" and never "ahss"
-- so people say "leg oh ess" and not "leg ohz" or "leg ohss."
Just my $0.02...
