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. -- http://web.lemuria.org/pubkey.html pub 1024D/2D7A04F5 2002-05-16 Tom Vogt Key fingerprint = C731 64D1 4BCF 4C20 48A4 29B2 BF01 9FA1 2D7A 04F5 -- You have received this message because you are subscribed to the selinux list.
