SCC has published a "statement of
assurance" (http://www.securecomputing.com/pdf/Statement_of_Assurance.pdf)
that says: "Secure Computing will not assert the Subject Patent
Rights with respect to any use, modification or distribution of
SELinux software that is permitted by, and is in compliance
with, the terms and conditions of Version 2 of the GNU General
Public License (the “GPL”). "
All kinds of commercial use of SELinux is in compiance with GPL,
so the person claiming that commercial use requires a licence
has been infected with the SCO virus and doesn't know what he's
talking about.
