Hello

 

Some time ago, you informed me that resultant SELinux operating system would be subjected to a Common Criteria Test by Red Hat.

 

The concept of open-source provides the user access to the source code for purposes of correcting errors and making needed modifications.

 

Isn't the concept of open-source and the common criteria test somewhat inconsistent?  Is the certification provided by common-criteria nullified when the user makes a change to the SELinux operating system?

 

Please comment

 

Thank You
