- SELinux was not open source from day one. The NSA released it under
GPL in 2000 after it was under development for years (its history goes back to 1992).
Are you sure about that? In 1992, Linux did not even have a usable userland utilities. It started in August 91 and took 3 - 4 years to become complete in terms of OS / API and toolset.
Yes (it was originally not developed on Linux). See, for example:
