    I agree with Russell. This really had better be clarified. I believe it
    is the intent of many on this list, myself included, to productize
    systems based on SELinux.
    
    It's either GPL or it ain't. Which is it? Do I drop my plans or continue?
    
    PS: For my purposes, the BSD license will do just as well.
