NSA offered SELinux for download under the GPL, right?
GPL states that if there's anything that stops you from fulfilling ALL
the GPL requirements (patents are explicitly mentioned), you may not
release under GPL at all.
therefore, I simply assume that any problems are between SCC and NSA,
and I'll happily await the day that SCC sues NSA for the initial GPL
release.
in addition, I live in a free country without software patents (though
the lobby is working on changing that), so I guess I should prepare an
SELinux mirror just in case.
