To me the issue is contract. NSA released GPL code. People worked on this code with in the GPL framework. A company, SCC, wants to change the contract. The people that worked, on SELinux, under the first contract has lost value due to the beach of contract. Simple! The value that was lost is "the linux communities ability to use SELinux under the GPL framework." How much is that? It is different for person. What would be the damages?
