Linux fragmenting at last?

Oh, and finally, AppArmor predated SELinux by a considerable time (I think AppArmor started out in 1999?), so if anyone is to blame for a fork it would be SELinux.

But as a fork isn't happening, no 'blame' need be assigned.

With the difference that SELinux was GPL from the start, while AppArmor wasn't at that time.

Yes, but it would still be peculiar to point to the earlier implementation as signs of fragmentation. Non-free or not the AppArmor hackers didn't see into the future and decide to make something extra-different to that SELinux thing ;)
