    I agree with Crispin. For the LSM facility to be generally useful
    it must be available to all, including those whose license requirements
    differ from the "norm". It is very reasonable to expect LSM to be
    used to produce classified* security models, and a scheme which
    makes doing so difficult will impede the progress of Linux.
