This looks nice as a propaganda which is typical for bsd fanboys. I'd like to know how many lines of code freebsd needs to implement SELinux? Entire Linux kernel?

Not sure why would anyone want to reimplement those, but regarding SELinux - FreeBSD already implements several Mandatory Access Control policies. Differently from Linux, they are stackable. This framework is also used by several commercial operating systems, including MacOS X.
