I think the 6 months for a non member is a bit short.
Most inactive players who have lost membership and are giving the game a break sometimes come back to play years later. If they find their name has been forcefully changed because somebody else has it, then it may make them less likely to want to stay.
i have to agree fully with the above, i have a lot of friends pre-2007 even, who sometimes return to the game periodically.
Loosing their name would be a big kick to most. Pretty sure i could come up with unique names, even with the amount which have been taken to date.
I do not think this step is necessary, and name changes should not be implied to actual account names.
Cheers

Benefits for JaGex on such move:
1) Could increase the average number of players online and could keep inactive accounts users from leaving RuneScape ( Well... Umm... Here, have the rope, go ahead tie them up, do not thank me )
2) Could increase the amount of bonds demand by releasing player's names, in which increasing their RWT income
3) Could free up some server space from inactive usernames ( Oh, hang on... If you take away someone's username, you'll still need a user ID to identify that user IF he or she returns... Is JaGex really that poor that they need to squeeze as much server space as they could which makes them look like they are about to bankrupt?
)
Really... The player's name is the only last thing for a player to actually represent him or her, I can't say most players do care about name creation, but I believe most of them do took time for creating their names before they step into the game world...
